Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Pennsylvania

The cancer-causing mineral asbestos was used throughout Pennsylvania for decades in products such as building materials, textiles, and automotive brakes and equipment. Asbestos products were also used in the shipyards where workers built and made ships for the Navy and commercial use.

Although residents may have been exposed to asbestos decades ago, people continue to be diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and other asbestos-related diseases. The tragedy is that asbestos companies never warned Pennsylvania citizens that the fibers they worked with could one day sicken and kill them and their relatives. Mesothelioma is a particularly aggressive illness, and our clients deserve the utmost quality of care and support to fight for their lives.

If you or a family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or any other asbestos illness, you likely handled or breathed in deadly fibers years ago at your workplace, in your home, or during your time in the military. You are entitled to compensation and a free consultation with Belluck Law.

The top-rated asbestos attorneys at Belluck Law will help you determine which companies should be held liable for your exposure, and we will seek the total and fair financial compensation you deserve.

Pennsylvania Mesothelioma Lawyers

Pennsylvania has a long history of manufacturing, steel production, shipbuilding, construction, rail transportation, mining, power generation, and other industries where workers could have encountered asbestos.

For generations, Pennsylvanians worked in industrial facilities, factories, mills, mines, construction sites, schools, hospitals, power plants, and other buildings where asbestos-containing materials were used.

Pennsylvania’s industrial history includes major manufacturing centers in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, steel and industrial operations throughout the Monongahela and Ohio River valleys, manufacturing and transportation industries in the central and eastern parts of the Commonwealth, and shipbuilding and maritime activity in the Philadelphia region.

Today, people who worked in these environments decades ago may be diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease.

Asbestos diseases often have a long latency period. According to medical and legal resources, mesothelioma can develop decades after the original exposure, which can make identifying the source of exposure particularly difficult.

Our attorneys investigate employment history, military service, products, worksites, job duties, and other potential sources of asbestos exposure.

Our Carlisle office provides a convenient location for clients and families throughout Central Pennsylvania while our attorneys represent qualifying asbestos clients throughout Pennsylvania and beyond.

Whether you are located near Carlisle or in another part of the Commonwealth, you do not have to travel far to begin discussing your potential claim.

Industrial Asbestos Exposure in Pennsylvania

Asbestos was used extensively in American industry and in a wide range of products and building materials.

Pennsylvania’s industrial economy created numerous environments where workers could have encountered asbestos.

Potential exposure occurred in many different settings, including:

• Steel mills
• Manufacturing plants
• Power plants
• Shipyards
• Construction sites
• Mines
• Railroads and transportation facilities
• Chemical plants
• Refineries and industrial facilities
• Military installations
• Schools and public buildings
• Hospitals and commercial buildings
• Automotive and mechanical workplaces

Products that historically contained asbestos included insulation, pipe covering, gaskets, valves, pumps, boilers, electrical products, floor tiles, cement products, fireproofing materials, brake components, joint compounds, and numerous other industrial and construction products.

The specific source of exposure varies from person to person. An attorney can investigate the individual’s work history and other circumstances to determine whether a potential legal claim exists.

Asbestos Exposure in Western Pennsylvania

Western Pennsylvania has a particularly significant industrial history.

Pittsburgh and surrounding communities became major centers of steel production, manufacturing, transportation, and heavy industry. Industrial facilities and steel operations were located throughout Allegheny County and surrounding communities.

Belluck Law’s research on Pennsylvania mesothelioma trends identifies several historically significant Pennsylvania industrial facilities associated with asbestos exposure investigations, including Armco Steel, Babcock & Wilcox, Edgar Thomson Steel Works, Fisher Scientific, LTV Steel, Neville Chemical, U.S. Steel facilities, and Westinghouse.

Workers throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania may have encountered asbestos in industrial settings, including steel mills, powerhouses, maintenance areas, construction projects, and manufacturing facilities.

Communities throughout Western Pennsylvania include:

• Pittsburgh
• McKeesport
• Braddock
• Homestead
• Clairton
• Duquesne
• Monroeville
• Beaver
• Butler
• Washington
• Greensburg
• Uniontown
• New Castle
• Erie
• Johnstown

If you or a loved one worked in one of these communities and later developed mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, an investigation into your occupational history may help identify potential sources of exposure.

Asbestos Exposure in Central Pennsylvania

Carlisle is located in Cumberland County in Central Pennsylvania and provides a convenient location for serving clients throughout the central part of the Commonwealth.

The surrounding region has a long history involving manufacturing, transportation, construction, military activity, and other industries.

Central Pennsylvania communities that may be served from our Carlisle office include:

• Carlisle
• Harrisburg
• Mechanicsburg
• Camp Hill
• York
• Gettysburg
• Chambersburg
• Shippensburg
• Lebanon
• Lancaster
• Hershey
• Reading
• State College
• Altoona
• Williamsport

People can encounter asbestos in many different occupational environments. A person’s location alone does not establish asbestos exposure or legal liability. Each potential case requires an individualized investigation.

Asbestos Exposure in Eastern Pennsylvania

Philadelphia and the surrounding region have a long history of manufacturing, construction, shipbuilding, transportation, and industrial activity.

The Philadelphia Navy Yard was an important center for naval construction and repair, and asbestos was among the hazardous materials identified in buildings at the former facility. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has documented asbestos-containing materials and asbestos-abatement activities at the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.

Philadelphia was not the only area of Pennsylvania where asbestos exposure occurred.

Workers throughout Eastern Pennsylvania may have encountered asbestos in factories, construction projects, manufacturing facilities, power plants, transportation-related workplaces, and other industrial environments.

Our Pennsylvania asbestos attorneys can investigate potential exposure wherever it occurred.

Asbestos Exposure in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Northeastern Pennsylvania has a long history of coal mining, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and industrial work.

Communities including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Allentown, Bethlehem, and surrounding areas have been home to generations of workers in industrial and construction-related occupations.

Workers may have encountered asbestos in insulation, boilers, pipes, machinery, electrical equipment, building materials, and other products.

Even if your exposure occurred many years ago, it may still be possible to investigate your employment and product history.

Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure in Pennsylvania’s Industrial Communities

Pennsylvania’s industrial past continues to be relevant to families dealing with asbestos-related diseases today.

A recent analysis of Pennsylvania mesothelioma data examined approximately 6,000 cases recorded in the state’s cancer registry from 1990 through 2019. The research found geographic variation in mesothelioma incidence across Pennsylvania and identified occupational asbestos exposure as an important consideration when examining the state’s disease patterns.

The latency period associated with asbestos-related diseases can make these cases especially difficult to investigate.

Someone diagnosed today may have worked with or around asbestos many decades ago.

That is why our attorneys conduct detailed investigations into a client’s work and life history.

Pennsylvania Asbestos Exposure Can Happen in Many Occupations

Historically, asbestos was used in a wide variety of workplaces and products.

Occupations that could involve asbestos exposure included:

• Construction workers
• Electricians
• Plumbers
• Pipefitters
• Insulators
• Mechanics
• Machinists
• Millwrights
• Engineers
• Factory workers
• Maintenance workers
• Laborers
• Railroad workers
• Power plant workers
• Steel workers
• Shipyard workers
• Navy personnel
• Merchant mariners

Family members could also potentially experience secondary or take-home exposure when asbestos fibers were carried home on work clothing or other items.

If you are unsure where your asbestos exposure occurred, an attorney can help investigate your history.
