Asbestos Exposure in Michigan

Michigan Auto Factory

Asbestos was used to make heat-resistant automobile parts, including transmission components, clutches, brake pads, spark plugs, electrical systems, gaskets and more. The highest concentrations of mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancers cases in Michigan are in Detroit, where automobile manufacturing is the main industry.

There have been many successful lawsuits for mesothelioma in Michigan. One brake mechanic who suffered from his asbestos exposure filed lawsuit against an automobile manufacturer, and was awarded $53 million.

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 Michigan

Michigan ranks 10th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 1,588 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Michigan

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

SWMW attorneys dedicate the overwhelming majority of their time and effort prosecuting mesothelioma claims, so we know which states and jurisdictions are going to provide the best outcome for your case and can get your case settled faster.
