Joseph Belluck of New York law firm Belluck & Fox, and Michael Pietrykowski of San Francisco will co-chair the thirteenth annual National Asbestos Litigation Conference in September 2010. The conference, first held in 1998, is the companion conference to HB's Emerging Trends in Asbestos Litigation Conference, being held in March.Belluck and Pietrykowski also co-chaired the conference in 2009. While the agenda has not been finalized for the 2010 conference, topics last year included information on mesothelioma cases, asbestos exposure risks, and settling mesothelioma lawsuits.
Mesothelioma is a serious cancer that occurs in individuals exposed to airborne asbestos fibers. Even small amounts of asbestos and infrequent exposure can create a risk for contracting mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases. Mesothelioma is highly aggressive and is resistant to many cancer treatments. Currently there is no known cure for the disease.
Belluck, a nationally recognized attorney whose practice focuses on asbestos, consumer, environmental, and product injury litigation, says the conference is "the most significant gathering of attorneys representing plaintiffs and defendants in asbestos cases throughout the United States."
