If you’re searching for a Michigan Bricklayer Asbestos Lawyer, you’re in the right place. For decades, bricklayers across Michigan—especially those who worked on industrial furnaces, power plants, auto factories, and steel mills—faced daily asbestos exposure on the job. Whether you’re a retired tradesman or a family member suffering the consequences of take-home exposure, you may be entitled to compensation.
For decades, Michigan bricklayers worked in steel mills, foundries, chemical plants, and power stations surrounded by asbestos. Many carried the dust home on their work clothes—unknowingly putting their spouses and children at risk.
If you or a loved one laid brick or refractory material at job sites like Zug Island, Ford Rouge, Great Lakes Steel, or Big Rock Point and were later diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, it may not be coincidence.
Where Did the Exposure Happen?
Bricklayers often worked near hot surfaces—boilers, furnaces, kilns, and coke ovens—all of which were insulated with asbestos-containing materials. Some of the highest-risk Michigan sites include:
- Great Lakes Works – Ecorse & River Rouge
- Ford Motor facilities in Dearborn, Ypsilanti, and Sterling Heights
- Detroit Edison power plants
- BASF, Dow, and Union Carbide chemical plants
- GM foundries in Saginaw and Flint

Why Are Bricklayers at Risk?
The cutting, fitting, and removal of firebricks, mortar, and refractory insulation created heavy dust—much of it containing airborne asbestos fibers. Without proper masks or ventilation, bricklayers were left unprotected.
Even years after retirement, these exposures can lead to mesothelioma, asbestosis, or asbestos-related lung cancer.
