Asbestos Exposure in Maryland

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.

Maryland’s location along the Atlantic Ocean is home to several shipyards and construction companies. Anyone who worked in one of these shipyards is at a high risk of exposure.

Many Maryland residents worked for power plants, chemical plants, and construction companies performing labor jobs that may have put them at high risk for exposure to asbestos. People who worked in large plants are at a high risk of mesothelioma and lung caner because of the asbestos used in various equipment.

Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at the sites (listed below) also have an increased risk of developing cancer because of the asbestos fibers that were carried home on the body and clothing of those workers.

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) 422-8877 or 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 Maryland. 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 Maryland 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”

  • Everyone at SWMW Law have went above & beyond. They’ve been so compassionate & so very helpful. I really didn’t think I would be getting anything for my late husband. I feel like they have found every way possible to get something in the memory of my late husband. He didn’t deserve to pass the way he did, & SWMW Law are making sure his death wasn’t in vain. Ty you to Lyndsy & everyone who has put long hours into helping me. My deepest appreciation to you all.
