Karn Power Station asbestos exposure has put workers and their families in Essexville, Michigan at risk for decades. Built during a time when asbestos was commonly used in industrial facilities, the Karn power plant—operated by DTE Energy—relied on asbestos-containing materials to insulate boilers, turbines, piping, and ductwork.
Many of the men who worked there were never warned about the dangers. They inhaled asbestos fibers on the job and carried the dust home on their clothing, exposing wives, children, and other family members. The result? A tragic pattern of illnesses like mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer—often diagnosed decades later.
If your loved one worked at Karn Power Station and has developed a serious illness, you may have a legal right to file an asbestos claim. Michigan law allows compensation for occupational and take-home asbestos exposure victims. These are not class actions—they are personal, individual cases backed by real evidence from job site records and exposure data.
Attorney Lee W. Davis has represented over 3,200 asbestos claimants and understands the specific history of DTE Energy and other power utilities across Michigan. From identifying exposure pathways to documenting plant conditions and family risk, this isn’t just what we do—it’s what we’ve done for decades.
