Mystery Bridge Rd/U.S. Highway 20
The Mystery Bridge Rd. site, located east of Casper, was previously home to a pair of industrial facilities, one of which was owned by Dow Chemical. Since 1963, the site has been used for oil production. The EPA added the site to its Superfund National Priorities List to clean up various contaminants, including asbestos.
Amoco Standard Oil Refinery
During its long history of oil production, the Amoco Standard Oil Refinery in Casper was contaminated with various hazardous substances, including asbestos.
Laramie Tie Plant
This facility treated railroad ties with creosote, and numerous chemicals contaminated the site. In addition, the plant extensively used asbestos. Thus, workers were likely exposed to asbestos fibers.
What Occupations Are at Risk for Asbestos Exposure in Wyoming?
People employed in the oil and manufacturing industries or who worked in older buildings like schools are among those most likely to have been exposed to asbestos in Wyoming. Specific fields associated with occupational asbestos exposure in the state include:
Petroleum deposits are abundant in Wyoming. Thus, the oil industry is prevalent in the state. Oil refineries often used asbestos to protect vital equipment from high temperatures. There are also 12 known sites with naturally occurring asbestos where miners could have been exposed to the mineral.
Wyoming plants processing asbestos-containing vermiculite heavily exposed their employees to the deadly mineral. Workers at these plants had a higher chance of developing mesothelioma.
Turbines, generators, and boilers at power plants contained asbestos to shield their components from heat. Workers at companies like Hot Springs Light and Power Company, Black Hills Power and Light Company, and Pacific Power Company may have been exposed to asbestos while working near vital equipment.
Several trona deposits were found in Wyoming, leading companies to open chemical plants and use the ore to make soda ash. Asbestos insulation was used to control temperatures at these plants, potentially endangering nearby workers.
Older buildings, including schools, often contain asbestos materials, which were used for their cheap durability and heat resistance. Students or staff who come across these materials today could be at risk of disturbing and inhaling asbestos fibers. In 2009, the Department of Environmental Quality reprimanded the University of Wyoming for failing to properly inspect buildings for asbestos.

Wyoming mesothelioma victims have several compensation options, including filing a lawsuit, pursuing trust fund claims, and seeking VA benefits or workers’ compensation.
Wyoming Mesothelioma Lawsuit
Asbestos exposure victims in Wyoming can file a mesothelioma lawsuit against the parties responsible for their exposure. A successful lawsuit can help secure damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain, and suffering caused by the illness.

Wyoming Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Some companies have filed for bankruptcy protection and were required by the courts to establish asbestos trust funds. These trust funds provide a faster and simpler venue for eligible victims to secure compensation.
VA Benefits for Wyoming Veterans
Military veterans exposed to asbestos during their service might be entitled to VA benefits for mesothelioma, including monthly disability payments.
Workers’ Compensation for Exposure in Wyoming
Those exposed to asbestos on the job may be eligible for mesothelioma workers’ compensation benefits. This can help cover medical expenses related to mesothelioma and asbestos-related illnesses.
How Long Do You Have To File a Mesothelioma Claim in Wyoming?
Wyoming’s statute of limitations for mesothelioma personal injury claims is four years after the date of diagnosis—a longer deadline than most states have established. However, for mesothelioma wrongful death claims, the family of the deceased asbestos-exposure victim only has two years from the death to file a suit.
Get started on your claim as soon as possible to ensure you build the strongest case, as evidence will fade with time. Our experienced Wyoming mesothelioma attorneys can help you build and file a timely claim, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
