When asbestos-related illness strikes a family in Belmont County, it’s often because of exposures that occurred decades ago. As a Martins Ferry asbestos lawyer, I help local workers and families pursue compensation for mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases tied to job sites throughout the Ohio Valley.
Asbestos Exposure in Martins Ferry, OH
Martins Ferry’s industrial roots run deep. Steel mills, rail yards, power stations, and riverfront factories once used asbestos in everything from insulation to gaskets. Many workers were never warned. Others brought asbestos dust home on their clothes—leading to take-home exposure for spouses and children.
Common asbestos exposure sources in the area include:
- Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel operations
- Nearby coke plants and pipefitters’ unions
- Boilermakers and shipyard workers
- Bricklayers, electricians, and HVAC trades
- Teachers and office workers in old asbestos-lined buildings
Whether your exposure happened on the job or through a loved one’s clothing, legal help is available.

Why Choose a Local Martins Ferry Asbestos Lawyer?
National firms advertise heavily, but they don’t know this region. I’ve been working asbestos claims since 1988—including Ohio Valley job sites many firms have never set foot on. You don’t need to explain where Martins Ferry is. I’ve already represented people from your town.
📋 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still file an asbestos claim if my exposure happened decades ago?
Yes. Ohio law allows claims to be filed within a certain period after a diagnosis—not the original exposure. Contact me to discuss your time limits.
