Asbestos Exposure in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Paper Mill

Wisconsin citizens are at a high risk for asbestos exposure due to manufacturing, metal work, and paper mill industries. Many of these industries are located in urban areas of Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Green Bay.

Asbestos was also used directly in the paper milling process, putting workers at risk from airborne asbestos fibers. People who worked for Kimberly Clark and Georgia Pacific may be at high risk for acquiring mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer.

Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in Wisconsin

Wisconsin ranks 9th in the U.S. for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 1,576 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Wisconsin

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 Wisconsin. 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.
