Abrams v. Pneumo Abex Corp., et al.

Posted by Goldberg, Persky & White P.C.

in Asbestos & Mesothelioma News

Pennsylvanians who filed claims for nonmalignant asbestos disease prior to 1992 and are now suffering from an asbestos-related cancer have the right to file new claims based on their new diagnosis.

Why do I need an estate representative when my loved one dies?

Posted by Goldberg, Persky & White P.C.

in Asbestos & Mesothelioma News

The estate rep can be appointed in the will of the deceased, or, in...
