Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Montana

During the 20th century, more than 1 million U.S. workers were exposed to asbestos, a dangerous mineral that can cause the cancer mesothelioma, and many face serious health risks to this day.

Quick Facts About Asbestos

  • Asbestos is a natural mineral that is durable and resistant to heat
  • Over 3,000 household and industrial products contained asbestos, including roofing shingles, talcum powder, automobile brakes, insulation, boilers, and more
  • Multiple industries, like manufacturing, steel working, and shipbuilding, used asbestos
  • Inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma to develop 10-50 years after initial exposure
  • Secondary exposure occurs when asbestos is brought home on a worker’s clothes, skin, or hair, exposing others indirectly

Some job sites, homes, and older buildings in Montana may still contain asbestos, putting workers and residents at risk of exposure even today.

What If I Don’t Know How I Was Exposed?

Our knowledgeable Montana mesothelioma attorneys have helped many past clients identify where they were exposed to asbestos and which companies may be responsible.

Over the past two decades, we’ve gathered evidence on thousands of Montana job sites where asbestos was used. It’s possible we’ve already represented someone who worked at the same spot as you.

Let us put our experience to work for your family. Call (800) 326-8900 now to get started for free.

What is the Libby, Montana asbestos crisis?

Libby, Montana is at the center of one of the most severe asbestos crises in the nation. In Libby, a vermiculite mine operated by W.R. Grace & Co. was contaminated with naturally occurring asbestos. For decades, mining operations caused asbestos fibers to become airborne, which led to a widespread health emergency.

Thousands of residents and workers have since been diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases, and the town was designated a Superfund site by the EPA in 2002.

How many people have died from asbestos in Libby, Montana?

More than 690 people have died from asbestos-related diseases in the small town of Libby, which has a population of around 3,000.

Over the years, thousands of residents have developed mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases caused by Libby, Montana asbestos contamination linked to the vermiculite mine.

Unfortunately, asbestos exposure victims only have a short window of time after their mesothelioma diagnosis to file a claim due to statutes of limitations, which are state-specific deadlines on when you can file a lawsuit.
