Pipefitters Asbestos West Virginia – Legal Help for Exposure Victims

West Virginia pipefitters were among the hardest hit by occupational asbestos exposure. From power stations to chemical plants, pipefitters across the state regularly worked with and around asbestos-insulated pipes, gaskets, valves, and fittings—often without any warning.

Why Pipefitters in West Virginia Were Exposed to Asbestos

For much of the 20th century, asbestos insulation was used on high-heat systems that pipefitters installed or maintained. Cutting pipes, grinding old gaskets, and removing lagging often released dangerous asbestos dust directly into the air. Pipefitters were routinely exposed.

Health Effects Linked to Pipefitter Asbestos Exposure

The link between pipefitters and asbestos-related diseases is clear. Dozens of former union pipefitters in West Virginia have been diagnosed with:

• Mesothelioma
• Lung cancer
• Pleural thickening

Even non-smokers are at elevated risk. Families have also suffered from take-home asbestos exposure, when fibers were carried home on work clothes.
