Asbestos Exposure in North Carolina

Power Plant

North Carolina has a number of asbestos risks due to its military bases, industrial worksites, and several vermiculite plants. Veterans who were based at Fort Bragg, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejuene, and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base may have been at risk due to high levels of asbestos in the facilities.

Power plant workers in North Carolina may also have a high risk of exposure. Asbestos was often found in the insulation materials used to wrap electrical conduits, and was in the plaster, drywall, and the cement used to construct the power plant buildings.

Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in North Carolina

North Carolina ranks 12th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 1,121 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in North Carolina

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 North Carolina. 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.
