Overview:
On March 29, 2022, the United States Senate passed Resolution 561 which aims to educate the general public about the prevalence of asbestos-related diseases and the risks of asbestos exposure. To this day, it remains heavily monitored by US regulators and many corporations face a difficult road ahead in dealing with various complex asbestos issues.
The continuously increasing number of asbestos personal-injury lawsuits remains a challenge for insurance companies, corporations, and legal practitioners.

Krippner as they share their knowledge on how to effectively manage the ever-changing dynamics of asbestos claims and lawsuits.

Justinian C. Lane, Owner
Asbestos Attorney
The Law Offices of Justinian C. Lane, Esq. – PLLC
For nearly a decade, Justinian C. Lane has asserted the rights of people harmed by asbestos exposure. He has secured millions for his clients. And the work is personal: Mr. Lane’s grandfather piloted naval landing craft in WWII, where he was repeatedly exposed to asbestos aboard military ships. Grandad later got a job as a mechanic, where he worked with asbestos-containing brakes, clutches, gaskets, and auto-body parts. Justinian’s grandmother, meanwhile, washed asbestos dust from her husband’s clothes, and she was also exposed in her soldering job at an electrical plant. Justinian’s own father worked in a titanium foundry throughout the 1950s, a place likely filled with asbestos. All three died of cancers that are often caused by asbestos exposure.
