Mesothelioma

If you or a loved one worked at Ormet Aluminum in West Virginia and developed mesothelioma, you are not alone. The aluminum plant, located in Hannibal across the Ohio River from New Martinsville, was once a major jobsite where asbestos was widely used.

Workers at Ormet Aluminum, as well as employees at other major aluminum plants such as Alcoa and Kaiser, were routinely exposed to asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and refractory materials. As a dedicated Ormet Aluminum mesothelioma lawyer, I help West Virginia families get the justice and compensation they deserve.

Asbestos Exposure at Ormet Aluminum

Asbestos-containing materials were used extensively throughout Ormet’s potlines, smelters, furnaces, and powerhouse. Pipe insulation, gaskets, and refractory linings all posed a silent threat to workers. Many trades—including maintenance crews, electricians, laborers, and furnace operators—had direct and routine contact with these materials.

Take-Home Ormet Aluminum Asbestos Exposure

Workers unknowingly brought asbestos fibers home on their clothing, putting spouses and children at risk. I’ve helped families file take-home asbestos cases where the victim never worked at the plant but still developed mesothelioma decades later.

FAQ – Aluminum Plant Asbestos Exposure

Were aluminum plants like Ormet, Alcoa, and Kaiser known for asbestos use?
