If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, or another asbestos-related illness, you may be entitled to asbestos compensation in West Virginia. These payments are not charity—they are legal remedies for families who were exposed through no fault of their own.
I’ve been helping West Virginia asbestos victims since the late 1980s, and I’ve personally handled thousands of claims tied to steel mills, power plants, and chemical facilities across the state. Here’s what you need to know about securing asbestos compensation today.
Who Can Qualify for Asbestos Compensation in West Virginia?
You may be eligible for compensation if:
- You worked around asbestos at industrial or construction job sites
- You were a spouse or child exposed through take-home asbestos dust
- You were recently diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer
- A loved one died from asbestos exposure in the last two years
West Virginia has a strict statute of limitations, so acting quickly is essential.
Types of Compensation Available
Victims of asbestos exposure in West Virginia may recover compensation from:
- Asbestos bankruptcy trusts (over $30 billion still available)
- Lawsuits filed in state or federal court
- Wrongful death claims for surviving families
- VA or union pension benefits (if applicable)
Most clients never set foot in court—claims are typically handled discreetly and efficiently with supporting documentation and medical proof.
Where Did Asbestos Exposure Happen in WV?
Thousands of residents across the state were exposed in places like:
- Weirton Steel, Wheeling-Pitt, and Follansbee Coke
- Fort Martin, Kammer, Pleasants, and Mitchell power plants
- DuPont Washington Works near Parkersburg
- Chemical and utility jobs in Kanawha Valley
- Public schools and maintenance work statewide
I’ve worked on over 3,000 asbestos claims across these sites—often for families that didn’t even know where or how the exposure occurred.

Take-Home Asbestos Cases
Many wives and children were never told they were at risk, but they inhaled asbestos fibers brought home on work clothes and car seats. These take-home exposure cases are valid and often eligible for full compensation.
Why Hire a West Virginia Asbestos Attorney?
As someone who started working on asbestos cases in 1988 as a paralegal, and who managed over 100 claims in Morgantown courts in a single year, I understand both the legal and medical challenges victims face. I know the union records, plant layouts, and defendant history that national firms often overlook.
