Mesothelioma Lawyers in Indiana

6 Lawyers Listed ⚖ SOL: 2 Years From date of diagnosis or discovery
Indiana's heavy manufacturing economy made asbestos exposure widespread across the state, particularly in the steel, automotive, and chemical industries. The steel mills of northwest Indiana in Gary, East Chicago, and Hammond — part of the vast industrial corridor along Lake Michigan — exposed thousands of steelworkers to asbestos insulation on furnaces, ladles, pipe systems, and equipment. U.S. Steel Gary Works, Inland Steel, and Bethlehem Steel Burns Harbor all used asbestos extensively. Indiana's automotive industry, centered in Indianapolis, Kokomo, Anderson, and Muncie, exposed workers to asbestos in brake linings, clutch facings, and gaskets manufactured by companies like Chrysler, General Motors, and Delco-Remy. Chemical plants and oil refineries, including the BP Whiting Refinery near the Illinois border, used asbestos insulation throughout their facilities. The Indianapolis Power and Light Company and Indiana Michigan Power operated power plants with extensive asbestos materials. Eli Lilly's pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Indianapolis also contained asbestos. Military installations including the former Fort Benjamin Harrison, Grissom Air Reserve Base, and the Naval Avionics Center in Indianapolis used asbestos in their buildings. Indiana applies a two-year statute of limitations from the date of discovery, and the state's industrial history means many residents have potential claims they may not be aware of.
