Workers in manufacturing across West Virginia were routinely exposed to asbestos for decades. WV Manufacturing Asbestos Claims help workers and families understand their rights, pursue compensation, and access the medical and legal support they deserve. Whether exposure happened in a chemical plant, steel mill, power equipment factory, or assembly line, the law still allows injured workers to recover.
Manufacturing facilities used asbestos to insulate furnaces, boilers, presses, pumps, conveyors, turbines, and electrical systems. For many employees, exposure happened daily—sometimes without any warning. Even worse, many workers unknowingly carried fibers home on clothing, exposing spouses and children long after the shift ended.

WV Manufacturing Asbestos Claims Overview
These claims focus on how and where asbestos exposure occurred inside manufacturing plants. Equipment such as valves, gaskets, oven doors, mixers, grinders, motors, insulation, pipe covering, and steam lines often contained asbestos. Maintenance mechanics, millwrights, electricians, welders, machine operators, and production workers all carried high exposure risk.
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis, a claim may still be available—no matter how long ago the exposure occurred. These cases rely on plant records, jobsite histories, product identification, and testimony from former coworkers and industry experts.

Take-Home Exposure Also Counts
West Virginia courts recognize take-home asbestos exposure when a family member inhaled fibers brought home from a manufacturing job. This includes exposure from contaminated laundry, work gear, or dust carried into vehicles and homes. Spouses and children frequently developed mesothelioma years later despite never stepping foot inside the plant.
If your loved one was exposed indirectly through contaminated clothing, a claim may still apply.

- Identifying all asbestos-containing products used on the job
