Ford Asbestos Exposure in Michigan: Legal Help for Factory Workers and Families

Ford asbestos exposure has affected countless factory workers across Michigan. For decades, employees at Ford Motor Company facilities were routinely exposed to asbestos-containing materials in their daily work—putting them at risk for deadly diseases like mesothelioma.

If you or a loved one worked at Ford and later developed an asbestos-related disease, you’re not alone—and you may be entitled to compensation.



Where Was the Ford Asbestos Exposure?

Ford’s Michigan operations—including the iconic Rouge Complex in Dearborn, and facilities in Wayne, Flat Rock, and Livonia—used asbestos-containing materials in:

  • Brake pads and clutches
  • Boiler and pipe insulation
  • Gaskets and sealing compounds
  • Industrial furnaces and foundry cores

These materials put mechanics, line workers, pipefitters, millwrights, electricians, insulators, and tool-and-die specialists at risk.

Take-Home Asbestos Exposure from Ford Plants

Family members of Ford employees may have been harmed too. Asbestos dust brought home on contaminated clothing could lead to mesothelioma in spouses and children. These “take-home” cases are especially tragic—innocent loved ones exposed simply by doing laundry or hugging someone after a long shift.

If your loved one worked at Ford and you were later diagnosed, we can help you build a take-home asbestos case under Michigan law.
