West Virginia Lawyer and Asbestos Claims

Should West Virginia courts open their doors for out-of-state visitors with asbestos claims?

A Pittsburgh law firm wants the Court to hear its appeal of a ruling from West Virginia that dismissed the asbestos cases of more than 1,000 railroad workers.

The law firm says the U.S. Supreme Court has previously agreed with its argument.

A petition says West Virginia courts are doing a better job than its sister states in resolving asbestos cases in a timely manner.

A few years ago the railroad company said the law firm tried to defraud them with false representation of people with asbestosis.
