In this video, attorney Mathew J. Morton describes how asbestos dust from workplaces like Kodak, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb, DuPont, and others unknowingly put spouses and children at risk. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer due to secondhand asbestos exposure, this video outlines how the firm can help you understand your legal rights and pursue justice.

Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford has been fighting for workers and their families affected by asbestos exposure for decades.

In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, it was common for workers to return home wearing dusty, asbestos-contaminated clothing. At the time, few people were aware of the dangers. Wives, performing their routine household chores, would shake out these clothes before washing them, unknowingly exposing themselves to harmful levels of asbestos. Small children playing nearby were also at risk, simply by being in the same room. Even a simple hug at the door from a father coming home from work could unintentionally expose the entire family.

I grew up in Rochester and witnessed firsthand how vital companies like Kodak, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb, Argency, DuPont, and Rochester Products were to the community. These companies employed thousands of hardworking men and women, individuals who never imagined that their work could lead to devastating health consequences for themselves and their loved ones.

At Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford, we’ve proudly represented workers from these facilities—and their families—for decades. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer and had household exposure from someone who worked with asbestos, please contact us.
