Michigan Industrial Asbestos Exposure affected thousands of workers across auto plants, steel mills, foundries, paper mills, chemical facilities, and power stations. These exposures caused mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and other fatal illnesses—often decades after the work was performed. If you or a family member spent a career in Michigan industry, you may still have a strong legal claim today.

Michigan Industrial Asbestos Exposure in Auto, Steel & Chemical Plants
For more than 60 years, asbestos was used heavily in Detroit auto plants, Saginaw foundries, Dearborn steel operations, Flint chemical facilities, and Mid-Michigan power stations. These worksites used asbestos in:
• Boilers, turbines & power systems
• Insulation on piping and high-heat equipment
• Foundry ladles, molds, and refractory materials
• Auto parts: brakes, clutches, gaskets
• Chemical plant pumps, valves, and reactors
• Paper mill drying systems
This wasn’t minor or incidental exposure—workers breathed asbestos dust every shift, often without warnings or protection.

Trades Most Affected in Michigan
Industrial asbestos exposure was highest among:
• Pipefitters
• Steelworkers
• Foundry workers

• Machinists

Even if the company closed years ago, you can still pursue claims through available asbestos trust funds or litigation.
You May Still Have a Claim Today
Michigan residents often believe their exposures were “too long ago” to pursue compensation.
That is not true.
Asbestos claims depend on diagnosis date, not exposure date. If you were recently diagnosed with:
• Mesothelioma
• Lung cancer (smokers still qualify)
• Asbestosis
• Pleural thickening
—you may be eligible for significant compensation, even if the plant closed decades ago.
