Kentucky Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lawyers

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.

No matter where you reside, we will come to you, hear your story, and get to work on your behalf. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Time is of the essence – don’t hesitate to call (888) 422-8877 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation today.

Take the First Step

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Kentucky

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 Kentucky. 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.

We handle asbestos cases all across the USA, so we know how to file, where to file, and what to do to get you the compensation you deserve. Call (888) 422-8877 to speak with an Kentucky mesothelioma and asbestos attorney at SWMW Law.
