Why File an Asbestos Lawsuit in West Virginia?

West Virginia has a long industrial history—coal, steel, chemical plants, and power generation—where asbestos was used in insulation, pipefitting, boilers, and more. Many companies knowingly used asbestos without warning workers of the deadly risks. If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease, an asbestos lawsuit may help you:

Recover medical expenses
Replace lost wages
Seek justice for wrongful death
Hold negligent companies accountable

Who Can File?

You may be eligible to file an asbestos lawsuit in West Virginia if:

You worked at an asbestos job site in WV
You experienced secondhand (take-home) exposure
A family member died from asbestos-related illness
You were exposed while working as a contractor, laborer, or tradesman

Take-Home Exposure Is Also Covered

Many lawsuits have succeeded based on take-home asbestos exposure—where a worker unknowingly carried fibers home on clothing, exposing a spouse or child. West Virginia courts recognize these cases, and if you were sickened by exposure from someone else’s work clothes, you may have a valid claim.

Lee was an excellent representative of the legal profession. I have had other lawyers in the past and they did not respond to emails or return phone calls. Mr Davis was very attentive and responded to all calls and emails.
Mr Davis was a tremendous help for my situation. I was a defendant in a frivolous lawsuit. Lee was well prepared for our hearing and listened to my side of the lawsuit and represented me to the point he won the case for me.
I highly recommend Lee Davis for any legal issue you may have. He will be a tremendous asset to you!!!

If I could give 100 stars I would. When you need to contact an attorney you most likely are in a storm you never expected you would be in. From the first conversation I had with Lee I knew I would be in great hands; his professionalism is stellar. Mr. Davis let me speak and put my mind at ease that what I was dealing with was not right. Lee was empathetic through all the emotions that go along with a legal case. Lee was compassionate and knowledgeable and worked hard during the legal process to make sure I was up-to-date with the current standing of my case along with being available to communicate in a speedy time period even if it was just to say, "I will call back as soon as possible." Lee fought hard for me and I was impressed by his knowledge, strategy skills, his honesty and the education he provided as the case proceeded to the next phase and what I should expect. I highly recommend Mr. Davis!

Lee Davis is an outstanding lawyer and a truly wonderful person! His experience, knowledge, and professionalism are unparalleled. I wouldn’t put my rights into the hands of any other lawyer. He is straightforward and gets results. I can’t say enough good things about him.

I met Lee Davis several years ago. I had the privilege of witnessing his professionalism in a number of courtroom settings. Not only did he conduct himself with confidence and eloquence, he was thoroughly prepared to go up against multiple defendants of major corporations. He did his homework and did not settle for mediocrity, and won. Since then, I have called upon him whenever I needed legal advice, even when it seemed like I could have gone to some internet application and done it myself. There is nothing simplistic about the law and I thoroughly trust Lee to handle any legal situation. When it comes to legal matters, I have full confidence in Lee.

Lee Davis exceeded our expectations in every way. He poured his heart and soul into our case. Everything he did showed his commitment to professionalism and the highest standards of jurisprudence. Lee was relentless in his pursuit of justice for our family. He was not content to settle for the lowball offers from just a few defendants. We had multiple defendants and Lee worked to maximize our settlement with each of them. Lee has my highest recommendation.
