If you or a loved one were exposed to asbestos in Western Pennsylvania, a Washington County Asbestos Lawyer can help you pursue compensation for mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases. For decades, workers at mills, power stations, factories, and industrial sites across Washington County were placed at risk — often without warning.
As someone who has handled asbestos cases since 1988, including thousands of high-value occupational claims, I understand where the exposures happened, how the products were used, and how to build a strong case fast.

FAQs — Washington County Asbestos Lawyer
1. What does a Washington County Asbestos Lawyer do?
A Washington County Asbestos Lawyer investigates where your exposure occurred, identifies the asbestos products involved, files lawsuits and trust claims, and pursues maximum compensation for mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases.
2. Can I sue my former employer for asbestos exposure in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Under the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Tooey decision, workers who develop mesothelioma or asbestos cancer outside the Workers’ Compensation Act statute of limitations can sue their employer directly in civil court. I pursue Tooey employer lawsuits aggressively whenever the law permits.
3. What job sites in Washington County used asbestos?
Many facilities used asbestos-containing insulation, refractory materials, gaskets, packing, cement, and electrical components. Common sites include Washington Steel, Canonsburg Steel, McGraw Edison, Bethlehem Mines, local powerhouses, boiler rooms, and union trade environments.
4. What compensation can asbestos victims receive?
You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, wrongful death damages, and additional claims through asbestos bankruptcy trusts. Every case is different, but many recover substantial amounts.
5. How long do I have to file an asbestos lawsuit in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania follows the “discovery rule,” meaning the clock starts when you are diagnosed — not when you were exposed. A Washington County Asbestos Lawyer can file your lawsuit quickly to protect your rights.
6. Is there a fee to hire an asbestos lawyer?
No. I work entirely on a contingency fee, meaning you pay nothing unless I recover money for you. Consultations are always free.
7. Do you handle cases for family members exposed indirectly?
Yes. If a spouse or child developed mesothelioma from contaminated work clothing or tools, you may have a take-home exposure claim under Pennsylvania law.
