Helping Victims of Asbestos-Related Illness in West Virginia & Virginia
For decades, asbestos was widely used in construction, manufacturing, and industrial workplaces across West Virginia and Virginia. While it was once valued for its durability and heat resistance, it’s now known as one of the most dangerous substances ever used in the workplace. Even a small amount of exposure can cause devastating and fatal diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.
At Katz, Kantor, Stonestreet & Buckner, PLLC, we represent individuals and families whose lives have been forever changed by asbestos exposure. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping victims obtain justice, accountability, and the financial compensation they deserve for their suffering.
