Illinois Power Generation Jobsites — Asbestos Exposure
Illinois's coal-fired power plants, steam generating stations, and industrial utilities rank among the highest-density asbestos exposure worksites in the region. Every boiler drum, turbine casing, and mile of high-pressure steam piping was insulated with asbestos-containing materials from the 1930s through the 1980s — and outage workers returned to the same sites for decades.

Illinois gives asbestos disease victims two years from diagnosis to file under 735 ILCS 5/13-202. Power plant workers frequently develop mesothelioma 20–50 years after exposure — by diagnosis, the clock is already running. Contact an attorney immediately.
Mesothelioma Attorney for Illinois Asbestos Claims
If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease after being exposed to asbestos — or you lost a loved one to one — you and your family may have a legal claim. An experienced asbestos attorney can evaluate the case — at no cost to you.
If you were diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, a filing deadline may already be running. You may have a legal claim now — and claims can often be pursued even if the company is out of business.
Surviving spouses and children may pursue a wrongful-death claim and asbestos-trust recovery on a loved one's behalf — a separate deadline that can run from the date of passing.
- Free case review — no obligation to hire
- No attorney fee unless a financial recovery is made
- Personal-injury and wrongful-death claims both evaluated
- Trust-fund claims and civil lawsuits pursued simultaneously
- Filing deadlines may limit the time you have — the sooner the better
