Asbestos Defense
The firm has more than 30 years experience in asbestos disease litigation. This involves the active defense of cases not only in Colorado, but also in other jurisdictions throughout the United States. To that end, the firm maintains an extensive library of asbestos-related matters, and remains current on court decisions impacting asbestos litigation as well as medical and scientific developments.
The defense of a multitude of cases requires an analysis of the appropriate defense themes for each individual case, which is always unique from other cases.
- We retain experts
- Take depositions
- Engage in the normal sort of pre-trial discovery and activities
In asbestos disease litigation, one is required to have a high degree of knowledge of exposure issues. This includes knowledge of medical dose-response relationships and epidemiological studies on causation. This is significant because it is the degree of exposure that relates to the potential fault or liability of any client and the value of any settlement. This has become increasingly important as more and more peripheral exposures are alleged in this litigation.
We are proud to have represented many significant defendants in asbestos litigation and stand ready to assist other clients.
