WV pipefitters have long played a crucial role in the infrastructure of West Virginia’s industrial economy. From power stations to chemical plants and steel mills, pipefitters routinely worked with and around asbestos-containing materials. Unfortunately, many West Virginia pipefitters were exposed to asbestos without proper protection or warnings—placing them and their families at risk of developing mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
If you or a loved one worked as a pipefitter in West Virginia and have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Attorney Lee W. Davis has over 35 years of experience representing tradesmen—including WV pipefitters—who were exposed to toxic materials on the job.
WV Pipefitters Faced Regular Asbestos Exposure
For decades, WV pipefitters installed and maintained piping systems insulated with asbestos. These materials were used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, especially in:
- Power plants
- Refineries
- Steel and chemical facilities
- Paper mills
- Foundries and smelting operations
Even cutting or disturbing asbestos insulation could release dangerous fibers into the air. Many pipefitters unknowingly carried these fibers home on their work clothes, leading to secondary or “take-home” asbestos exposure in their families.
