Mesothelioma is a devastating diagnosis. This rare cancer is caused almost exclusively by asbestos exposure, and unfortunately, Pennsylvania has one of the highest rates of asbestos-related illnesses in the nation. From steel mills in Pittsburgh to shipyards in Philadelphia and power plants across the state, thousands of workers were exposed to asbestos without warning.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation. Our Pennsylvania mesothelioma attorneys have decades of experience holding asbestos companies accountable and helping families recover life-changing settlements.
We offer free consultations and charge no upfront fees. You only pay if we win compensation for you.

Here’s why families trust us:
Pennsylvania’s industrial history made asbestos use widespread. Steel plants, refineries, power stations, factories, and shipyards all relied on asbestos for insulation and fireproofing. As a result, Pennsylvania consistently ranks among the top five states for mesothelioma deaths.
Some well-documented asbestos exposure sites include:
(This is not a complete list. Asbestos was used in thousands of worksites across the state.)
While asbestos use touched nearly every corner of the state, some regions experienced especially high exposure levels.
The Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and multiple oil refineries exposed thousands of workers. Many construction and demolition projects in the city also disturbed asbestos-containing materials in schools, office buildings, and homes.
Known as the “Steel City,” Pittsburgh was at the center of asbestos-heavy steel production. Workers at mills, foundries, and power plants were at constant risk.
Home to Bethlehem Steel, one of the largest steel producers in the world, where asbestos products were used extensively in furnaces, rolling mills, and equipment.
As the state capital and industrial hub, Harrisburg saw exposure from government buildings, utilities, and local manufacturing plants.
Industrial worksites, power stations, and manufacturing facilities in these cities relied heavily on asbestos insulation and machinery.
While anyone can be exposed, certain Pennsylvania occupations carried the highest risk.
