Delaware Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lawyers

Asbestos Exposure in Delaware

There are several sites across Delaware in which asbestos use was common. Delaware is home to DuPont Chemical, which has been acknowledged to be among the worst corporate pollutants in the world, putting thousands of workers at risk for mesothelioma and lung cancer due to asbestos in their plant.

Chemical plants across the state used asbestos in factory boiler rooms, workspaces and production lines before it was finally regulated in the 1970’s due to known health risks. Workers at these sites (listed below) are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma and lung cancer. Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at the sites listed below also have an increased risk of developing cancer because of the asbestos fibers that were carried home on the body and clothing of those workers.

Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in Delaware

To this date, more than 200 mesothelioma and asbestos-related deaths and thousands of lung cancer diagnoses have been reported from Delaware.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Delaware

You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live. It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of Delaware. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.
