Weirton Steel and Other Industrial Sites

For decades, asbestos was present throughout the massive Weirton Steel complex and nearby manufacturing and chemical facilities. Pipefitters, millwrights, electricians, and laborers handled or worked near asbestos-containing materials daily. Even contractors performing maintenance at the site faced the same exposure risk, leading to serious illnesses years later.

Filing a Weirton Asbestos Exposure Lawsuit

Victims of occupational asbestos exposure can file a lawsuit against the manufacturers and suppliers of asbestos products—not their employers. These lawsuits seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. The process starts with gathering employment history, medical records confirming a mesothelioma or asbestos-related diagnosis, and identifying the products used at each jobsite.

Compensation and Trust Fund Claims

Because many asbestos companies went bankrupt, victims can pursue claims through established asbestos trust funds. These funds provide compensation without a trial. An experienced Weirton asbestos lawyer can coordinate both trust and court claims to maximize recovery while ensuring all filing deadlines are met.

Take-Home Weirton Asbestos Exposure Lawsuits

Families of Weirton Steel and local plant workers were also at risk. “Take-home” asbestos exposure occurred when workers unknowingly carried asbestos dust home on their clothing. Spouses or children later developed mesothelioma after years of secondary exposure. These families may also qualify for compensation.

Lee was an excellent representative of the legal profession. I have had other lawyers in the past and they did not respond to emails or return phone calls. Mr Davis was very attentive and responded to all calls and emails.
Mr Davis was a tremendous help for my situation. I was a defendant in a frivolous lawsuit. Lee was well prepared for our hearing and listened to my side of the lawsuit and represented me to the point he won the case for me.
I highly recommend Lee Davis for any legal issue you may have. He will be a tremendous asset to you!!!

If I could give 100 stars I would. When you need to contact an attorney you most likely are in a storm you never expected you would be in. From the first conversation I had with Lee I knew I would be in great hands; his professionalism is stellar. Mr. Davis let me speak and put my mind at ease that what I was dealing with was not right. Lee was empathetic through all the emotions that go along with a legal case. Lee was compassionate and knowledgeable and worked hard during the legal process to make sure I was up-to-date with the current standing of my case along with being available to communicate in a speedy time period even if it was just to say, "I will call back as soon as possible." Lee fought hard for me and I was impressed by his knowledge, strategy skills, his honesty and the education he provided as the case proceeded to the next phase and what I should expect. I highly recommend Mr. Davis!

I met Lee Davis several years ago. I had the privilege of witnessing his professionalism in a number of courtroom settings. Not only did he conduct himself with confidence and eloquence, he was thoroughly prepared to go up against multiple defendants of major corporations. He did his homework and did not settle for mediocrity, and won. Since then, I have called upon him whenever I needed legal advice, even when it seemed like I could have gone to some internet application and done it myself. There is nothing simplistic about the law and I thoroughly trust Lee to handle any legal situation. When it comes to legal matters, I have full confidence in Lee.

Lee Davis exceeded our expectations in every way. He poured his heart and soul into our case. Everything he did showed his commitment to professionalism and the highest standards of jurisprudence. Lee was relentless in his pursuit of justice for our family. He was not content to settle for the lowball offers from just a few defendants. We had multiple defendants and Lee worked to maximize our settlement with each of them. Lee has my highest recommendation.
