Trial Lawyers Fighting for Your Rights

The trial attorneys at The Ferraro Law Firm have vigorously and successfully fought for the rights of workers injured by asbestos and their families since 1985. Our firm has represented more than 20,000 asbestos claimants and has won more than approximately $ 1 billion dollars in compensation for our injured clients. The Ferraro Law Firm has a nationwide reputation for handling asbestos and malignant mesothelioma and environmental toxic tort lawsuits. We represent clients in every state, either directly or through our nationwide network of attorneys.

Making Legal History Again

The lawyers at The Ferraro Law Firm have successfully tried many cases that resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts . In 1995, Jim Ferraro received the largest compensatory award in the state of Florida for a mesothelioma case ($6.25 million, Galotti vs. Owens-Corning Fiberglas). In 1997, Mr. Ferraro also had the highest jury verdict ever in our nation for a single non-malignant asbestos case ($5 million, Owens-Corning vs. McKenna ). In 2002, the firm successfully persuaded the Delaware Supreme Court to weaken a law that protected large corporations from being sued more than two years after their products caused injuries to consumers. (Brown v. DuPont) In 2004, the firm won the first ever asbestos case against Union Carbide Corporation Laqueux v. Union Carbide .

Mr. Ferraro was named one of 10 national finalists for Trial Lawyer of the Year in 1997 for trying the first case successfully prosecuted against a chemical company for causing a birth defect. In Castillo vs. DuPont , Jim proved that a pregnant woman's exposure to DuPont's fungicide Benlate caused her son to be born without eyes. The trial was covered in its entirety on Court TV and received worldwide attention.
