University At Buffalo

University at BuffaloFounded in 1846, the State University of New York at Buffalo is the largest and most comprehensive campus in the SUNY system which is comprised of 64 campuses. The University at Buffalo consists of three campuses (North, South and Downtown Bioinformatics Campus). Opened in the early 1970’s the University’s North Campus currently has more than 100 buildings, including a dormitory complex, apartment style student housing and state of the art academic buildings. In recent years, those who assisted in the construction of the University’s North Campus buildings have developed and died of mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases.

Construction of the University’s North Campus began in the early 1970’s. Laborers who assisted in the construction of the Campus’ buildings have developed and died of mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases. Asbestos containing fireproofing, joint compound and pipe covering were used in the construction of buildings. Workers who handled materials that contained asbestos or worked in the vicinity of others who did are at high risk for developing an asbestos related disease such as mesothelioma.

If you or a loved one were once employed as a laborer at the University at Buffalo, North Campus and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, we urge you to contact us regarding your legal rights.
