Kentucky Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lawyers
Asbestos Exposure in Kentucky
Construction workers, miners, and railroad workers were at the highest risk for asbestos exposure in Kentucky. Asbestos-containing materials were used in building and insulation, and many workers on these projects are at a high risk of exposure, and therefore are at risk of developing lung cancer or mesothelioma.
Unfortunately, many of the families of workers 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 Kentucky
Kentucky ranks 25th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 482 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.
Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Kentucky
You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live.
