Mesothelioma Lawyers in New Hampshire

4 Lawyers Listed ⚖ SOL: 3 Years From date of diagnosis or discovery
New Hampshire's asbestos exposure history is connected to its manufacturing base, military installations, and the shipbuilding operations just across its southern border. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which straddles the New Hampshire-Maine border in Kittery, employed many New Hampshire residents who were exposed to asbestos during submarine construction and overhaul. New Hampshire's textile and shoe manufacturing heritage in cities like Manchester, Nashua, and Dover involved asbestos in factory machinery insulation, boiler rooms, and building materials. The former Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, which operated from 1956 to 1991 and is now a Superfund site, contained asbestos in its buildings and infrastructure. Paper mills along the Connecticut River and in the North Country, including operations in Berlin, Groveton, and Claremont, used asbestos insulation in their processing equipment. The Public Service Company of New Hampshire operated power plants with asbestos materials, including the Merrimack Station in Bow and the Schiller Station in Portsmouth. Manufacturing facilities, including the former Sanders Associates (now BAE Systems) defense electronics operation in Nashua, also used asbestos products. Many older buildings throughout the state, including mills converted to residential and commercial use, contain asbestos materials. New Hampshire allows three years from discovery for personal injury claims related to mesothelioma.
