Nemeroff Law Firm in the News

The Nemeroff Law Firm secured a landmark decision in January 2025 that gives employees who develop an asbestos-related disease years after they left their jobs the right to seek compensation from their employers through a civil lawsuit.

Nemeroff’s attorneys represented the estate of William Herold, a stationary engineer who worked at the University of Pittsburgh for 38 years. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma 15 years after his last workplace exposure.

Under Pennsylvania’s Occupational Disease Act, employees who develop an asbestos-related disease can only recover benefits under the ODA if their occupational disease occurs “within four years after the date” of last exposure to asbestos. However, mesothelioma is a disease that takes decades for symptoms to appear. Most people are diagnosed 20-50 years after last exposure to asbestos – decades after the ODA’s 4-year statute of limitations.

But on Jan. 22, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled 5-2, saying the lawsuit could proceed against the university. The five judges agreed the 4-year statute of limitations is not absolute. According to Chief Judge Debra Todd, “… leaving such employees with no remedy against his or her employer contravenes the ODA’s intended purpose.”

Importantly, a 2013 decision obtained by the Nemeroff Law Firm at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court helped secure the victory in this case. In the earlier decision, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed with the Nemeroff Law Firm that a plaintiff who developed mesothelioma long after his exposure ended, was entitled to seek compensation from their employer through a civil lawsuit when their disease occurred beyond the 300-week period mandated by the state’s Workers’ Compensation Act.

“The Nemeroff Law Firm strongly believes that every employee deserves the right to reasonable compensation for his or her injury or disease and should have the right to seek recourse against negligent, harmful, and unfair treatment by their employers,” said Rick Nemeroff, founder of the Nemeroff Law Firm. “Our firm hopes this legal victory in Pennsylvania will inspire other attorneys and firms to take on similar cases that advocate for individual rights and protect the rights of all victims within the court system.”
