West Virginia Mesothelioma Lawyer

Q: How long do I have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in West Virginia?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of diagnosis or death to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in West Virginia. However, exceptions may apply depending on your situation. Contact an experienced mesothelioma lawyer immediately to protect your rights.

Q: What if I don’t remember where I was exposed to asbestos?

That’s very common. A mesothelioma attorney with decades of experience can often help you identify likely exposure sites based on your job history, union records, or known asbestos sites in West Virginia. We help clients reconstruct their exposure timeline.

Most mesothelioma cases are resolved through settlement, meaning you likely won’t need to go to court. If a trial becomes necessary, your lawyer will guide you through every step and represent you directly.

Asbestos Exposure in West Virginia

West Virginia’s strong industrial history—coal mining, steel production, chemical plants, power stations—also brought widespread asbestos use. Thousands of workers were unknowingly exposed in the workplace, and many are now facing mesothelioma diagnoses years later.

Common asbestos job sites in WV include:

Weirton Steel
Union Carbide
Dupont
American Electric Power (AEP)
Mount Storm PS
Multiple WV coal mines and processing plants

Even family members of exposed workers can develop mesothelioma through secondhand exposure.

🚨 Your Legal Options After a Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Mesothelioma cases are not like other personal injury lawsuits. These are high-stakes, highly specialized claims that involve multiple potential defendants, decades-old exposure, and large potential settlements or verdicts.

Here’s how the legal process works for clients in West Virginia:

🔍 Step 1: Free Consultation and Case Review

We’ll discuss your work history, military service (if any), and where you may have been exposed to asbestos. This step helps us identify liable companies, even if they no longer exist today.

📁 Step 2: Investigation and Documentation

We gather all supporting documents—medical records, work history, union info, social security records, and past exposure reports.

With over 30 years of asbestos case experience, we know how to uncover the evidence that matters.

⚖️ Step 3: Filing the Claim

We file your lawsuit or trust claim. You may qualify for:

Compensation from asbestos trust funds
A personal injury lawsuit
A wrongful death lawsuit (for family members)
VA benefits if exposure happened during military service

💵 Step 4: Settlement or Trial

Most cases resolve through settlement, meaning no court appearance is required. If trial becomes necessary, I’ll personally represent you—no handoffs, no call centers.

👨‍⚖️ Why Choose Lee W. Davis Over the Big National Firms?

If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you’ve probably seen ads from national law firms promising fast settlements. But here’s what they won’t tell you:

💡 You’re Not Just a Case Number Here

At big firms, your case may be handed off to a call center, or worse — outsourced to another lawyer you’ve never met.

With me, you’ll work directly with the attorney you hired. I’ve spent over 35 years fighting for asbestos victims — starting in 1988 as a paralegal in West Virginia’s original mass trials.

🗺 I Know West Virginia

Asbestos exposure isn’t the same everywhere. Many national firms don’t understand the local job sites, industries, or legal nuances that affect West Virginians.

I’ve represented clients exposed at:

Weirton Steel
Union Carbide
DuPont facilities
PPG
Power plants, mines, and chemical works across the state

I know where to look, who to pursue, and how West Virginia juries think.

⚖️ Real Results. Personal Attention.

No call centers
No bait-and-switch attorneys
No hidden fees
Just real legal help, from a real West Virginia lawyer

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!

Lee is an extremely knowledgeable and dedicated attorney. A friend recommended Lee to my wife and me. He is very personable and made us feel at ease. He handled our business most professionally and with an obvious focus on our needs and best interest. We highly recommend him.

Lee Davis is an outstanding lawyer and a truly wonderful person! His experience, knowledge, and professionalism are unparalleled. I wouldn’t put my rights into the hands of any other lawyer. He is straightforward and gets results. I can’t say enough good things about him.

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.
