Alloy West Virginia asbestos exposure, particularly at the Elkem Metals facility (formerly Union Carbide), has impacted hundreds of local workers and their families. From pipefitters and furnace operators to maintenance crews, exposure risks ran high—often without proper warnings or protections.
I’ve represented asbestos victims in West Virginia since the 1980s, including cases tied to the Alloy plant. If you or your family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, there’s a good chance I already have the worksite documentation you need to get started.
Elkem Metals: A Legacy of Asbestos Risks
Elkem’s operations used asbestos materials in:
- Furnace linings
- Pipe and valve insulation
- Protective clothing
- Equipment gaskets and seals
That means nearly every shift near production equipment posed a health hazard. Today, Alloy West Virginia asbestos exposure continues to show up decades later in diagnoses of mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
Take-Home Exposure from the Alloy Plant
Family members may have been exposed too, through take-home asbestos exposure—when workers brought fibers home on their clothing. Learn more about take-home risks here:
Legal Help for Alloy, WV Asbestos Victims
Unlike national firms, I focus on West Virginia-specific asbestos exposure cases, and that means I already know the layout of Elkem’s Alloy plant, the job duties that mattered, and the corporate history that now funds asbestos trust claims. You need a lawyer who can skip the learning curve.
If you’re just learning about your diagnosis or your loved one’s death, time may still be on your side—but don’t wait. West Virginia has a two-year statute of limitations on most claims.
Why Local Experience Matters in Asbestos Cases
Many large national firms advertise mesothelioma representation, but few have actually handled cases tied to West Virginia jobsites like Elkem Metals. I started working on asbestos cases in this region in 1988—long before many national firms even opened a Pittsburgh office.
I’ve deposed Alloy workers, consulted plant blueprints, and reviewed historic OSHA citations. That matters when building a case fast and efficiently. You shouldn’t have to educate your lawyer about the plant you worked in for 30 years.
When you hire me, you’re not just hiring a mesothelioma lawyer. You’re hiring someone who already understands the facility, the job roles, and the asbestos-containing materials that were used there.
