Insulation around pipes, boilers, and furnaces
Drywall compounds, plaster, and ceiling tiles

Demolition and renovation work created especially high risks, releasing asbestos fibers into the air. Many trades were affected, including carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and laborers.

The Impact of WV Asbestos Exposure

Workers often inhaled asbestos dust for years without adequate protection. Because asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma have a long latency period, many construction workers are only now being diagnosed decades after their exposure. Families have also suffered through wrongful deaths and financial strain caused by medical bills.

Take-Home Asbestos Exposure From Construction Work

Many families in West Virginia were affected not only by jobsite exposures but also by take-home asbestos exposure. Construction workers often carried asbestos fibers home on their clothing, boots, and tools. Spouses who handled laundry and children who greeted their parents after long shifts were unknowingly put at risk. Today, some of those family members are being diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Filing a claim for WV Construction Asbestos Exposure may allow families harmed by secondary exposure to seek justice and 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.
