For decades, chemical plants across West Virginia used asbestos in insulation, piping, pumps, gaskets, and protective clothing. These materials exposed both workers and their family members to toxic asbestos fibers—often without warning. Today, chemical plant asbestos lawsuits are one of the few ways families can seek justice for mesothelioma and related cancers caused by this preventable exposure.
From DuPont’s Washington Works in Wood County to Shell Chemical in Apple Grove, these facilities exposed pipefitters, insulators, electricians, and even secretaries. In many cases, the exposure didn’t stop at the plant gates—dust was brought home on clothing, endangering spouses and children.
How Chemical Plant Asbestos Lawsuits Help Victims
Lawsuits can be filed by:
- Former workers with a confirmed asbestos disease
- Surviving family members of workers who died from mesothelioma
- Spouses or children harmed by take-home asbestos exposure
These lawsuits often rely on documented asbestos use at the facility, employment records, and medical proof of disease. Our office has decades of experience tracing exposures and securing recovery even when companies deny responsibility.
Take-Home Risk from Chemical Plant Asbestos
If a loved one worked at a chemical plant in Parkersburg, Belle, New Martinsville, or Institute, and you later developed mesothelioma or asbestosis, your illness may be the result of secondhand asbestos exposure. You have the right to know the truth—and to act on it.
