Asbestos Exposure in Washington

Workers in orange safety gear are maintaining railway tracks, with one worker in the foreground holding a tool and others working further down the tracks. The scene is outdoors with trees and utility poles visible in the background.

Washington is known for oil refiningpower plants, and aluminum processing, all of which are notorious for using asbestos. Aluminum production requires high levels of heat, so large amounts of asbestos insulation was used throughout these facilities.

These insulating materials had a tendency to deteriorate and crumble over the years, releasing millions of asbestos fibers into the environment.

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) 422-8877or contact us online to schedule a free consultation today.

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 Washington. 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 Washington 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! We truly appreciate all of you! – The Anderson’s”
