内森维. 雀

Nate 雀 has nearly 30 years of experience representing people who were hurt or killed by corporations that put profits over people’s health.

In the early 1990’s Nate represented coal miners who were injured or killed after their employers failed to follow their own safety rules. Beginning in the late 1990s Nate began representing victims of asbestos exposure, both in individual cases before juries and in multi-plaintiff cases in bench trials before federal district court judges when asbestos companies and/or their shareholder owners tried to use the bankruptcy process to defeat the claims of approximately 100,000名受伤工人. He has extensive experience trying cases involving a wide variety of asbestos-containing products, 包括垫片, 汽车刹车, 地砖, 联合化合物, 婴儿爽身粉, 以及各种形式的绝缘.

One of Nate’s more recent asbestos individual plaintiff jury trials received national attention when he 庭审中达成和解 against Baby Powder manufacturer 约翰逊 & 约翰逊.
 
In the bench trials involving asbestos defendants, Nate tried four cases to judgment where he won verdicts in favor of his clients that exceeded $1 billion each: 
杂牌大米案:
关于Bondex ($1.10亿*.D. Pa. 2013).

在杂色米饭之前: 
欧文斯·康宁 (70亿美元*.Del. 2005) 
阿姆斯特朗世界工业公司 (30亿美元*. Del. 2006) 
在《澳门现金赌钱手机入口》中 & Newall (90亿美元*.Del. 2005) 

When he isn’t trying cases against asbestos companies, Nate represents individual smokers in cases against Big Tobacco, which intentionally designed their cigarettes to be highly addictive without telling smokers they were doing so. Nate has obtained plaintiffs’ verdicts in several cases for smokers who started smoking in the 1960s (or earlier) before warnings were on the packages. Martindale-Hubbell® 已经认出内特是AV了® rated attorney for more than 20 years.

内特是 弗吉尼亚法律评论 and the Order of the Coif and is a former scholarship athlete on the varsity track and cross country teams at UVA.
