Saginaw Foundry Asbestos Lawsuits have revealed decades of exposure at industrial sites once central to Michigan’s manufacturing economy. Thousands of workers at General Motors Grey Iron, Nodular Iron, and Malleable Iron Foundries handled asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and furnace linings that released deadly fibers during daily operations.
From 1996 to 1999, I helped prepare more than 3,200 General Motors Saginaw Foundry cases, documenting exposure patterns and working in the “trenches” defending hundreds of client depositions when others wildly claim they were preparing thousands of cases for trial. These foundries used asbestos to insulate molten-metal molds and protect machinery from extreme heat—unaware that the same dust would later cause mesothelioma and other fatal diseases.
Exposure Sources at Saginaw Foundries
Common exposure points included:
- Furnace and crucible insulation
- Pipe and pump gaskets
- Asbestos gloves and aprons for casting workers
- Maintenance work on boilers and ventilation systems
Family members often suffered secondary exposure when asbestos dust traveled home on work clothes—leading to take-home exposure claims decades later.
Legal Options for Affected Families
Victims of Saginaw foundry asbestos exposure may qualify for compensation through:
- Asbestos bankruptcy trust claims
- Civil lawsuits against responsible manufacturers
- Wrongful-death actions for family members who lost loved ones
Each case depends on establishing jobsite history, product identification, and medical proof of asbestos disease. With extensive experience handling GM foundry litigation, my firm can trace the records, suppliers, and testimony needed to prove exposure.
