West Virginia Mesothelioma Lawyer – Asbestos Exposure Help for Families

West Virginia Mesothelioma Lawyer Lee Davis Fighting for Asbestos Victims Since 1988 — Local Knowledge. National Results.

You need a West Virginia Mesothelioma Lawyer if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease in West Virginia, you are not alone—and you have legal rights.

I’m Lee W. Davis, and I’ve been helping families affected by asbestos exposure for more than 35 years, beginning my career as a paralegal during the original West Virginia mass trials in 1988. Today, I use that same experience to aggressively pursue compensation for clients across Charleston, Huntington, Parkersburg, Weirton, Morgantown, and beyond.

Mesothelioma cases are complex, but I keep it simple for you. I handle everything—investigation, paperwork, claims, and court—so you can focus on your health and family.


⚖️ Why Choose a West Virginia Mesothelioma Attorney?

When it comes to asbestos litigation, local knowledge isn’t optional — it’s essential. National firms might advertise aggressively, but they don’t know West Virginia like I do.

I’ve been handling asbestos cases tied to West Virginia job sites since 1988, when I first worked as a paralegal on the original mass consolidation trials that defined how these cases were litigated statewide. After becoming a licensed attorney in 2002, I continued representing West Virginia families through decades of mesothelioma and lung cancer claims — often against some of the same corporate defendants.

✅ Licensed in West Virginia for Over 20 Years

Unlike out-of-state firms who rely on local counsel behind the scenes, I’ve been personally licensed in West Virginia since 2002. That means I can file, argue, and try your case myself — from the first intake call to final resolution.

✅ Deep Familiarity with West Virginia Job Sites

From PPG Natrium and Union Carbide South Charleston to Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel and Monongahela Power in Rivesville, I’ve built case files across decades of documented exposure at plants, mills, and power stations up and down the Ohio River.

I’ve handled asbestos cases involving:

I know where the exposures happened — and more importantly, how to prove them.

✅ I Handle the Case — Not a Call Center

You won’t be passed to a phone bank or junior associate. I handle your case myself — because I’ve seen what these diseases do to families, and I believe the people who caused this need to be held accountable.

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:

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.


❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Mesothelioma Lawsuits in West Virginia

📅 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. However, exceptions may apply. Contact me immediately to protect your rights.


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

That’s common. I’ve worked on WV asbestos cases since the 1980s—I likely already have records from the site, job, or union. We’ll help track it down.


👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Can my family file a claim if my loved one passed away from mesothelioma?

Yes. Spouses and children may file a wrongful death claim and receive compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and more.


⚖️ Will I have to go to court?

Probably not. Most clients never set foot in a courtroom. But if a trial is needed, I’ll be by your side every step of the way.


Who pays for asbestos settlements?

Asbestos settlements can come from several sources:

  • Asbestos bankruptcy trusts, which were set up by companies that went bankrupt due to asbestos liability
  • Corporate defendants who are still operating and were responsible for the exposure
  • Insurance carriers that covered employers or job sites during the exposure period

👨‍⚖️ 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:

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