Asbestos Attorneys in West Virginia

West Virginia Asbestos AttorneysWest Virginia has long depended on coal mining for its main source of income. While some residents have made a living in oil drilling, or working for Virginia’s power and chemical plants, coal mining has been West Virginia’s cash crop for decades.

Although the coal mining industry has helped West Virginia’s economy thrive, it has also been the main source of harmful asbestos exposure and has therefore been at the forefront of mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer cases.

West Virginia Companies and Asbestos Exposure

In addition to the coal mining industry, many West Virginia companies used asbestos. Some of the companies include:

  • Analine Chemical
  • Beckly Mining Academy
  • DuPont
  • Ergon-West Virginia
  • FMC Chemical
  • Goodyear
  • Manville Powerhouse
  • Morgantown Medical Research Center
  • Moundsville Powerhouse
  • Shell Oil Refinery
  • Will Island Power Plant
  • Will Island Credamine Chemical

Asbestos Exposure and Workers in West Virginia

Unfortunately, the companies that used asbestos are responsible for several deaths. Workers, for example, who handled large amounts of asbestos on a daily basis are at the greatest risk of harmful exposure. Because most asbestos cancers can take up to 50 years to develop, many retired men and women are just now developing mesothelioma cancer and other asbestos related diseases.
