Quick Facts About Asbestos Exposure in Dallas: Sites and Industries

Our Dallas mesothelioma lawyers are watching vigilantly to ensure residents are protected from asbestos exposure and previous victims get the justice they deserve. There were 908 deaths from mesothelioma in Dallas County between 1999 and 2020, and 374 from 2018 to 2024.

Industries that have often exposed workers and residents to asbestos include the following:

  • Manufacturing
  • Oil refining
  • Construction
  • Schools and universities
  • Chemical and mineral processing companies like W. R. Grace

Former W.R. Grace/Texas Vermiculite Site in the Dallas Metropolitan Area

Dallas is home to a former processing site run by W.R. Grace, a company that owned an infamous asbestos-contaminated vermiculite mine in Libby, Montana. Nearly 400,000 tons of contaminated vermiculite were processed at the site between 1953 and 1992, potentially exposing workers and their families.

Though a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services evaluation did not conclusively identify any environmental risks to nearby residents from the facility, workers and their families may have been exposed to asbestos as recently as 1992, potentially leading to future mesothelioma diagnoses as late as 2052.

What Are the Compensation Options for Mesothelioma Victims in Dallas?

If you’ve been sickened by exposure to asbestos in Dallas, it’s not through any fault of your own. You have the right to seek accountability from the parties responsible for your asbestos exposure. You may be eligible for compensation through the following paths:

  • Mesothelioma lawsuits: If you were exposed to asbestos because of a company’s negligence, you can hold it accountable by filing a civil lawsuit.
  • Asbestos trust fund claims: Asbestos companies bankrupted by civil litigation may have dedicated funds set up to provide compensation to exposure victims.
  • Asbestos claims after death: If your loved one dies from an asbestos-related illness, your family can pursue claims on their behalf.
  • VA mesothelioma claims: Veterans exposed to asbestos during their military service can receive disability compensation, free health care, and other benefits from the VA.
  • Workers’ compensation claims: If you were exposed to asbestos on the job, you may be eligible for mesothelioma workers’ comp benefits.

Our attorneys can evaluate your case, determine the options available to you, and pursue the justice and compensation your family deserves.

How Long Do I Have To File an Asbestos Claim in Dallas?

The Texas mesothelioma statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of diagnosis. For wrongful death claims, the deadline for a wrongful death claim is two years from the victim’s death. However, product liability claims have a hard deadline of 15 years from the sale of the product in question.

Speak with a knowledgeable Dallas mesothelioma lawyer to understand the applicable deadline for your case and ensure you file your claim in time.
