Title: Corporations Passing the Buck
Topic: Asbestos
Discussed by Dara Hegar
with Lanier Law Firm (www.LanierLawFirm.com)
Dara Hegar has been named the “New Rising Star” in the legal community by
Texas Monthly and was one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” in 2013. She’s a smart
woman.
And when it comes to getting victims their day in court, she is one of the best!
Today she is here to discuss asbestos. Oh, you think asbestos is illegal? Think
again! It’s not!
Nearly 300,000 people have already died from exposure to asbestos and 10,000
will die this year!
So why aren’t manufacturers being penalized for these deaths? Some are, yes. But
most are claiming “no responsibility”. And you’ll never guess who is helping
them hide…
If you have been exposed to asbestos, please contact the Lanier Law Firm at
