Thomas A.
Smith manages the investigation of the asbestos cases for
UAW members in Michigan. He has worked as an investigator
on asbestos as other toxic tort cases since 1985 and
as an attorney since 1995. He has been closely involved with
union and non-union tradesmen, including Carpenters, Ironworkers,
Steelworkers, Insulators, Laborers, Pipefitters, Sheetmetal
Workers, Plasterers, and Shipyard Workers. He has investigated
some of the most difficult asbestos cases in Michigan,
including those secondhand exposures of children and wives
of workers.
Mr. Smith graduated from Michigan State
University with a B.A. in Communications, a Masters in
Labor and Industrial Relations and his Juris Doctor from
University of Detroit-Mercy Law School.
"The workers we represent were exposed
over 30 and even 40 years ago while building America and
its industry as we know it today. While I cannot restore
their health, I can find those companies responsible and
help to compensate our clients for their asbestos disease."
