Understanding Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer in WV
WV Lung Cancer Claims often begin with a simple fact: asbestos exposure was widespread in West Virginia’s steel mills, chemical plants, and power stations for decades. Workers who inhaled asbestos dust—pipefitters, boilermakers, steelworkers, and maintenance crews—face a heightened risk of developing lung cancer years later. Even those who never handled asbestos directly may have been exposed at work or while performing repairs in contaminated areas.
