As a Weirton asbestos lawyer with roots in this region and experience tracing back to the 1980s, I’ve seen these tragedies unfold firsthand. I’ve helped families just like yours hold the right companies accountable—whether it was Weirton Steel, National Steel, or one of the many contractors that came and went.
Even though the last blast furnace went cold years ago, the danger never left Weirton. Families across the Ohio Valley are still dealing with the devastating effects of asbestos exposure—often decades after the initial contact.
Many workers at Weirton Steel and surrounding industrial sites handled or worked near asbestos-containing materials every day without proper protection or warnings. Worse, they brought those invisible fibers home on their clothing, exposing wives and children in the very place they were supposed to be safest.
Today, those exposures are still causing mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. And families are asking hard questions:
- Why wasn’t I warned?
- Why didn’t anyone tell us asbestos could come home in the laundry?
- Why does my family have to suffer for someone else’s decisions?
If you or someone in your family is now facing a diagnosis after working at—or living with someone who worked at—a Weirton-area job site, you may be eligible for compensation. As a Weirton asbestos lawyer, I may be able to help. That includes:
- Former steelworkers
- Janitors and insulators
- Pipefitters, millwrights, and electricians
- Family members exposed through clothing
You didn’t ask for this. But you can fight back.
