If you or someone in your family has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness in Upshur County, you may be eligible for compensation. As an experienced Upshur County Mesothelioma Lawyer, I’ve helped West Virginia families pursue justice after exposure at job sites in Buckhannon, Adrian, Tennerton, and throughout the region.
Asbestos was commonly used in power plants, construction, plumbing systems, public schools, and mechanical trades—many of which supported Buckhannon’s industrial economy throughout the 20th century. That legacy has left too many residents facing serious illnesses today.
Where Was Asbestos Used in Upshur County?
Upshur County may not have the scale of exposure seen in major steel towns, but asbestos was widespread in:
- Utility and electric plants operating near Buckhannon
- School buildings constructed before 1980
- Water systems and municipal infrastructure
- Automotive repair shops using asbestos brakes and clutches
- Building maintenance, renovations, and pipe fitting
Additionally, many workers in Upshur County took jobs in nearby counties with known exposure sites—then brought those fibers home on their clothing, exposing spouses and children to take-home asbestos.
Who Is at Risk?
Asbestos exposure doesn’t just affect industrial workers. I’ve seen successful mesothelioma claims from:
- Power plant and utility workers
- Plumbers and boiler mechanics
- Public school custodians
- Truck drivers and mechanics
- Family members of those who worked with asbestos
Even small amounts of take-home asbestos dust can cause mesothelioma decades later.
Why Choose an Upshur County Mesothelioma Lawyer?
With over three decades of experience—including managing 110 asbestos cases in Morgantown alone—I know how to prove jobsite exposure even in smaller counties like Upshur. I understand the local job assignments, union records, and product usage patterns in West Virginia workplaces.
You won’t have to educate me on where Buckhannon is or how exposure happened—I’ve already done the work.

Mesothelioma and asbestos cancer victims in Upshur County may be eligible for:
- Payouts from asbestos bankruptcy trusts

- Compensation for pain, suffering, and medical bills
