Mesothelioma Lawyers in Kentucky for Asbestos Exposure

When you need representation or consultation, our mesothelioma lawyers serve across the country, including in the Bluegrass State.

In some cases, a worker can even carry these asbestos particles to their home and expose friends and family members.
Asbestos Exposure in Kentucky
The majority of Kentucky is dedicated to agriculture and thus there are no known naturally occurring deposits of asbestos in the state. Most workers who have been exposed to asbestos in Kentucky were working with asbestos-containing materials (ACM). However, specific power plants in Cattlesburg and Drakesboro are sites that have been targeted as high-risk for asbestos. Chemical plants and oil refineries found in both Louisville and Ashland have also been listed as high-risk worksites. Asbestos was also used for many military operations within the state. The U.S. Army’s Fort Campbell base--located in Fort Campbell, Kentucky-is a known hotspot for asbestos exposure.
From the late seventies to the present, there have been hundreds of deaths resulting from asbestosis. However, there were about double the deaths from mesothelioma in the same time period. It is estimated that the number of asbestos-related medical cases have increased and will continue to increase over the next several years.
