Biography
I’m Bonnie Steinwolf. I’ve been practicing law for more than 20 years. I manage the Melville Long Island office for Meirowitz & Wasserberg. I have predominantly represented victims of asbestos exposure for the majority of my career. Most of my clients suffer from mesothelioma and lung cancer, and I have been an important part of their family and their lives as they tackle a very difficult time. It has been the most rewarding to support these people and bring them to justice.
Most recently, I have been involved in Camp Lejeune and am representing Marines and their family members from all over the country with regard to a myriad of diseases that they suffer from, having been exposed to decontaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
Over the past two decades, NYC personal injury attorney, Bonnie Steinwolf, has developed a distinguished reputation as an experienced civil litigator who concentrates her practice on representing those who have been seriously injured. Nothing gives her greater satisfaction than righting a wrong, so fighting for justice on behalf of her clients is something she looks forward to doing each and every day.
Bonnie focuses in the areas of personal injury, wrongful death, products liability, premises liability, and toxic torts. She has represented hundreds of people injured by another party’s negligence or wrongdoing. She has special expertise in representing victims of asbestos exposures, who, as a result of their exposure, suffer from lung cancer or mesothelioma. She is well versed in the many different exposures one could sustain during their lifetime and as such, has had a full and varied roster of clients including insulators, steamfitters, carpenters, electricians, laborers, millwrights, boilermakers, flooring installers, home improvement enthusiasts, auto mechanics, hairdressers, teachers, artists, dentists, family members and more. In addition, Bonnie has been instrumental in the successful resolution of cases against suppliers and manufacturers of asbestos-containing talc products, such as baby powders, fragrant powders, foot powders and make-up products, all of which have resulted in multimillion dollar settlements for the men and women who used these unsafe products.
Bonnie helped to secure a $32 million dollar verdict, in South Carolina, on behalf of the estate of a mesothelioma victim who sustained exposure to asbestos simply by laundering the contaminated clothing of her husband who worked as an insulator. Bonnie also helped the firm to achieve a $28.5 million dollar verdict, here in New York City, for the case of a local 538 Steamfitter.
