Pittsburgh Mesothelioma Attorney Help is available for local steel, glass, utility, and manufacturing workers who developed asbestos-related diseases years after leaving the job. For decades, asbestos insulation, furnace lining, and pipe coatings were standard inside mills, power plants, and factories across Allegheny County. Workers at facilities such as J&L Steel South Side Works, U.S. Steel Homestead, PPG Creighton, and Duquesne Light unknowingly inhaled fibers that remain the leading cause of mesothelioma today.

Why Mesothelioma Still Strikes Pittsburgh Workers
Before OSHA limits and modern ventilation, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, electricians, and furnace crews disturbed asbestos daily—cutting or removing insulation, gaskets, and refractory materials. Invisible fibers lodged deep in the lungs and pleura, causing scarring that can take 20–50 years to appear as mesothelioma or lung cancer. Even non-smokers are now being diagnosed decades after their last exposure.
Decades of Local Case Experience
Attorney Lee W. Davis, based in Pittsburgh, has represented industrial workers and families for more than thirty years. His experience began working on cases throughout Western Pennsylvania. As a paralegal, he worked on the original West Virginia mass-trial asbestos cases of the late 1980s and continued through 3,200 foundry claims in Saginaw, Michigan during the 1990s. Lee returned to Pittsburgh in 1999 to handle mesothelioma and lung cancer cases, now individually, in West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
That unparalleled depth of product-identification work is applied directly to Pittsburgh jobsites—tracking contractors, manufacturers, and asbestos product lines unique to Western Pennsylvania. He developed and personally programmed the original WV and MI product identification databases. Don’t be fooled by TV ads of lawyers looking at a computer screen.
