Weirton’s industrial legacy includes steel mills, foundries, chemical plants, and power facilities—many of which exposed workers to asbestos for decades. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer after working in or near these Weirton job sites, speaking with an experienced Weirton WV asbestos lawyer is an important step in protecting your rights and pursuing compensation.
Why Choose a Weirton WV Asbestos Lawyer?
A local asbestos lawyer understands the job sites, union records, and medical facilities in the Northern Panhandle region. National firms may advertise on TV, but they often lack the detailed knowledge of Weirton Steel, nearby coke plants, or take-home exposure routes through protective gear and laundry contamination.
Attorney Lee W. Davis has been handling asbestos-related claims in West Virginia since 1988, first as a paralegal during the original WV mass trials. His firm is based in nearby Pittsburgh and serves clients across Hancock County, including Weirton.
