Why Mesothelioma Claims West Yarmouth and Cape Cod

West Yarmouth and the surrounding Cape Cod area have long ties to maritime work, military operations, power generation, construction, and public infrastructure. For decades, asbestos was widely used in ships, ferry terminals, power facilities, and older buildings throughout the region.

Because mesothelioma often develops 20 to 50 years after exposure, many individuals exposed in the 1950s through the 1980s are only now receiving a diagnosis.

Exposure was not limited to shipyard workers. Many residents experienced secondhand exposure when asbestos fibers were brought home on work clothing or uniforms.

Maritime and Coastal Asbestos Exposure in West Yarmouth, MA

Cape Cod has a strong maritime and coastal employment history, and asbestos exposure in West Yarmouth is frequently linked to:

  • Ship maintenance, repair, and retrofitting work along Cape Cod waterways
  • Ferry operations and terminal facilities serving Cape Cod and the islands
  • Commercial fishing vessels and marine equipment maintenance
  • Mechanical and boiler work on ships and dockside facilities
  • Older waterfront warehouses and coastal infrastructure

Workers such as machinists, pipefitters, engineers, mechanics, electricians, and maintenance crews were often exposed to asbestos insulation, gaskets, and fireproofing materials used in marine environments

Military and Power Facility Asbestos Exposure on Cape Cod

In addition to maritime work, asbestos exposure in the West Yarmouth region is often associated with military and energy infrastructure, including:

  • Maintenance and construction work connected to Otis Air National Guard Base
  • Utility systems, boilers, and power equipment supporting regional military operations
  • Electrical and mechanical work tied to regional power generation, including facilities near the Cape Cod Canal
  • Industrial insulation and piping systems used in energy and utility infrastructure

Military personnel, civilian contractors, and support workers were frequently exposed during routine maintenance, repairs, and facility upgrades.

West Yarmouth and Barnstable County Asbestos Exposure Sites

Asbestos exposure in West Yarmouth and surrounding Cape Cod communities is also linked to:

  • Older hotels, motels, and commercial buildings built during Cape Cod tourism expansion
  • Public buildings, town halls, and municipal facilities
  • Schools and public facilities constructed before asbestos regulations
  • Road, bridge, and public works projects throughout Barnstable County
  • Construction, renovation, and demolition of older residential and commercial properties

Trades most commonly affected include carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, laborers, custodial staff, and maintenance workers.

Secondhand exposure also affected spouses and children when asbestos dust was brought home on clothing.

Asbestos Exposure in Cape Cod Schools and Public Facilities

Asbestos was commonly used in schools and public buildings built before modern safety standards. In the West Yarmouth area, exposure has been linked to maintenance and renovation work in facilities operated by:

  • Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District

Older school buildings often contained asbestos in floor tiles, ceiling materials, pipe insulation, boilers, and fireproofing. Teachers, custodial staff, contractors, and maintenance workers may have been exposed during repairs or renovations.

Why Acting Now Matters for West Yarmouth and Cape Cod Residents

Massachusetts law limits how long you have to file a mesothelioma or wrongful death claim. Waiting too long can permanently block your right to compensation.

Employment records, witnesses, and facility documentation become harder to obtain over time. Acting early strengthens your case.

Asbestos trust funds are finite. Filing sooner improves access to available compensation.

Medical treatment, travel, lost income, and family expenses add up quickly. Compensation can help reduce financial stress.

Taking action early protects your legal rights and your family’s future.
