Mesothelioma Lawyers in Pennsylvania

32 Lawyers Listed ⚖ SOL: 2 Years From date of diagnosis or discovery
Pennsylvania ranks among the states with the highest numbers of asbestos-related deaths, driven by its steel industry, shipbuilding, power generation, and heavy manufacturing heritage. The steel mills of Pittsburgh, including U.S. Steel's Homestead Works, J&L Steel, and the Bethlehem Steel plants in Bethlehem and Steelton, used asbestos insulation on blast furnaces, steel ladles, pipes, and throughout their massive facilities. The Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and the Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in Chester built and repaired warships and commercial vessels using enormous quantities of asbestos materials. The coal mining industry in western and central Pennsylvania exposed miners to asbestos in mining equipment and in naturally occurring asbestos found in some coal seams. Power plants operated by PECO Energy, PPL Corporation, and other utilities across the state used asbestos insulation extensively. The Philadelphia Electric Company's generating stations and the nuclear plants at Three Mile Island and Limerick all contained asbestos materials. Industrial facilities in the Lehigh Valley, Lancaster, Reading, and Erie also used asbestos products. The Philadelphia area remains one of the most active asbestos litigation venues in the nation, and Pennsylvania's two-year statute of limitations from discovery requires prompt legal action. The state's diverse industrial history means mesothelioma victims often have claims against multiple defendants.
