Mesothelioma Lawyers in Minnesota

6 Lawyers Listed ⚖ SOL: 4 Years From date of diagnosis or discovery
Minnesota's asbestos exposure history encompasses iron mining on the Iron Range, the taconite industry, manufacturing in the Twin Cities, and a unique environmental exposure concern. The iron mines and taconite processing plants of the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota exposed workers to mineral dust that includes elongated amphibole particles similar in structure to asbestos. The town of Libby, Montana shipped asbestos-contaminated vermiculite to a W.R. Grace processing facility in Minneapolis, creating exposure for workers and nearby residents. The 3M Company, headquartered in Maplewood, manufactured products containing asbestos and operated plants where workers were exposed. Power plants operated by Northern States Power Company (now Xcel Energy), including the Allen S. King Plant in Bayport and the Riverside Plant in Minneapolis, used asbestos insulation extensively. The Ford Motor Company Twin Cities Assembly Plant in Highland Park, which operated from 1925 to 2011, contained asbestos materials. Military installations including Fort Snelling and the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills used asbestos. Flour mills in Minneapolis, once the nation's largest milling center, and the meatpacking industry in South Saint Paul also contributed to worker exposure. Minnesota's four-year statute of limitations for personal injury provides more time than most states, but mesothelioma patients should still consult an attorney promptly.
