Asbestos Exposure Maryland

Asbestos Exposure in Maryland

Maryland’s location along the Atlantic Ocean is home to several shipyards and construction companies. Anyone who worked in one of these shipyards is at a high risk of exposure.

Many Maryland residents worked for power plants, chemical plants, and construction companies performing labor jobs that may have put them at high risk for exposure to asbestos. People who worked in large plants are at a high risk of mesothelioma and lung caner because of the asbestos used in various equipment.

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 Maryland

Maryland ranks 21st in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 892 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Maryland

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 Marlyand. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.
