Michigan Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lawyers

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.

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 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.

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 Michigan mesothelioma and asbestos attorney at SWMW Law.

  • “SWMW did an amazing job! They started the process with my father but during the process my father passed. They were so helpful when it came to us, his children, taking over in place of my dad. They answered every call and were extremely patient and supportive of us. They really did a great job with keeping us informed and educated. They fought for us. I would recommend them to anyone that hears the diagnosis of Mesothelioma. They will fight for you 100% of the way. Thank you SWMW Team for your support and patience!
