Industrial maintenance asbestos WV exposure was widespread in power plants, steel mills, and chemical facilities across the state. These skilled tradesmen worked in environments filled with asbestos insulation, gaskets, valves, and pumps—many without knowing the dangers. Today, retired maintenance workers and their families are facing mesothelioma diagnoses decades after their last job. If you or a loved one worked in industrial maintenance in West Virginia and were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos disease, legal help is available now.
Many maintenance crews weren’t warned about the dangers of asbestos—even though manufacturers and plant owners knew.
