Anyone who worked in a Mobay Chemical Corporation facility could be at increased risk of developing an asbestos-related disease, such as asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma. Asbestos was commonly used in the chemical industry because of its effectiveness as a heat and fire-resistant insulator. Mobay Chemical had operations in the following cities:
- Hannibal, Ohio
- Mary’s, West Virginia
- Natrium, West Virginia
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- New Martinsville, West Virginia
Joe Lyon is an experienced Toxic Exposure Lawyer, reviewing asbestos cancer claims on behalf of former Mobay Chemical workers and any other American who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma after years of hard work.
Mobay Chemical plant workers employed before 1981 and later diagnosed with ung cancer, esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, and mesothelioma likely have a good claim against their former employer.
Asbestos products were used for decades at Mobay. And even if you worked there in the 1970s, the damage may have been done. According to the National Cancer Institute, it can take ten to 40 years or more for asbestos-related cancers to appear.
To compensate cancer victims and families, the courts have required asbestos manufacturers to set up Asbestos Trust Funds with hundreds of millions of dollars in funds to pay out the victims of toxic exposure at the workplace. Cancer victims who worked at a Mobay Chemical Plant before 1981 may have a valid claim.
More About Mobay Chemical
Mobay Chemical Corporation was based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a joint venture of Monsanto Company and Bayer to produce and market polyurethanes. There have been several cases filed against all three companies and one lawsuit in particular was filed by a plaintiff who said he worked at the Mobay Chemical Plant in New Martinsville, West Virginia from 1962-89 and was exposed to asbestos during regular work hours. He was later diagnosed with asbestosis and mesothelioma.
