If you or a loved one worked at Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel in Benwood, WV and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may have a right to file a claim. As a dedicated Benwood mesothelioma lawyer, I help families pursue compensation for asbestos exposure—on the job and at home.
Benwood’s legacy as a steel town includes decades of asbestos insulation use, furnace lining, and take-home dust that harmed not just workers, but their families.
Where Did Asbestos Exposure Happen in Benwood?
Asbestos exposure in Benwood occurred across multiple areas of the Wheeling-Pitt Steel complex and other Ohio Valley job sites:
- Pipe chases and steam tunnels
- Boilers, turbines, and coke ovens
- Pump rooms and electrical vaults
- Refractory furnace work
- Locker rooms and laundry areas (take-home exposure)
Even workers in support trades like electricians, welders, and millwrights were regularly exposed.

I’ve been handling West Virginia asbestos cases since 1988—first as a paralegal managing hundreds of Northern District filings, and later as an attorney fighting for local families. Unlike national ad firms, I know the real layout of these job sites and the companies that covered up the danger.

❓ FAQ – Benwood Mesothelioma Lawyer
Q: Can I still file a claim if my exposure happened in the 1970s or 1980s?
A: Yes. Mesothelioma has a long latency period. You can still file a claim under WV law even if the exposure occurred decades ago.
Q: What if my spouse worked in Benwood and brought asbestos home?
A: You may be eligible for a take-home asbestos exposure claim. Courts in West Virginia allow family members exposed indirectly to pursue compensation.
Q: Do I need to go to court to get compensation?
A: Not always. Many mesothelioma cases are resolved through settlements or asbestos trust funds. I can guide you through every step.
