Cheap, strengthening, and flame retardant, asbestos was used in steel mills, chemical plants, construction trades, and a host of other industries throughout West Virginia. Asbestos can become airborne through cutting, grinding, or breaking, and the microscopic fibers are easily inhaled and ingested by unprotected workers. Many of those who worked with asbestos carried it home on their clothing, exposing their families to the cancer-causing dust.
Our clients are from many different industries and trade unions including asbestos workers, carpenters, electrical workers, bricklayers, boilermakers, laborers, plumbers and pipefitters, steamfitters, sheet metal workers, steelworkers and others. West Virginians in these trades were often exposed during the construction and repair of powerhouses, chemical plants and other buildings.
Getting a diagnosis and finding the right specialists to treat your injuries is a first crucial step. Protecting your rights should not be far behind, however, as there are severe time limits on pursuing an asbestos lawsuit. Usually starting from the date of your diagnosis, the statutes of limitations can limit or even prevent you from receiving compensation. Our West Virginia asbestos lawyers can help you determine how long you have to decide to protect your rights.
