I’m glad to be on board with Weitz & Luxenberg. Each day, we’re driven to help people who might otherwise be overlooked — people who might easily be hurt by the actions of others. At Weitz & Luxenberg, we give everything we’ve got to help our clients.”
Myrrah Dubey is a member of Weitz & Luxenberg’s dedicated team of mesothelioma and asbestos attorneys, with a legal focus on asbestos exposure cases.
W&L is delighted to count Ms. Dubey as a member of our skilled team of litigators working on behalf of victims of asbestos exposure across the country. To date, we have secured more than $13 billion in settlements and verdicts for our clients.
“I’m excited to be part of Weitz & Luxenberg. Our firm has dedicated itself to helping people harmed by asbestos exposure for almost 40 years. It’s a privilege to be part of those efforts,” says Ms. Dubey.
Suffering from a Mesothelioma Diagnosis
“I’ve personally seen what families go through when someone they love is diagnosed with mesothelioma. A very good friend passed away when he was 29. We met on a college campus when I was an undergraduate. He was exposed to asbestos,” discloses Ms. Dubey.
“I don’t want clients and their families to ever go through something like that. It’s incredibly painful. But it’s important to help them get the compensation they need and deserve. We also need the companies responsible to acknowledge what they did and, hopefully, rethink their choices in the future,” emphasizes Ms. Dubey.
Giving Them a Fighting Chance
“Our clients are good, kind people. They learned about the terrible diagnosis of mesothelioma, and their lives have changed forever,” states Ms. Dubey.
“We want to do everything possible to give our clients a fighting chance. Seeking compensation on their behalf is incredibly important. Families are facing so many challenges. Financial restitution can go a long way in helping our clients get the treatments they need.”
Telling Clients to Share Their Stories
“Before meeting with a client for the first time, I’m thinking about the latency period between exposure to asbestos and the diagnosis of mesothelioma. It can be decades,” Ms. Dubey points out.
“I encourage them to tell their story. I want them to tell me about themselves, their lives, and their work history. The more they share, the more I can help them narrow down the possible ways they’ve been exposed.”
Ms. Dubey adds, “It’s important to help them think back to possible places of exposure. We need to identify the companies responsible and hold them accountable.”
Providing Details to Build Their Case
“When I’m speaking with a client, I’m thinking about the best way to build their case. I’m considering what would be the most effective framework and strategy,” explains Ms. Dubey.
“There’s an urgency in telling their story. In the case of asbestos exposure and mesothelioma, we need to work diligently and quickly. We want to achieve a fair and just resolution as soon as possible.”
