Mesothelioma Lawsuits in Ohio: Legal Help for Asbestos Victims
Steel mills. Power plants. Foundries. Military installations. For decades, Ohio’s most demanding industries relied on asbestos, and workers paid the price. Hidden in insulation, gaskets, tiles, and brake linings, asbestos dust was everywhere. And it was deadly.
Today, mesothelioma continues to devastate Ohio families. This aggressive cancer can take decades to surface, but make no mistake, its roots trace back to preventable exposure on job sites across the state.
The Lyon Firm fights for victims of asbestos exposure. Whether you worked directly with toxic materials or were exposed secondhand, we track down employment records, identify known asbestos hotspots, and hold negligent employers and manufacturers accountable.
Contact The Lyon Firm now at (513) 381-2333 for a no-cost case review with an Ohio mesothelioma lawyer. The companies responsible for your exposure had the data. They saw the risk. And they did nothing. We’re here to make sure they answer for it.
“By the 1940s, companies knew asbestos was deadly. They had the research. They ignored the evidence. And they put workers in danger anyway. We’ve made it our mission to hold them responsible.”
Joe Lyon,
Founding Partner of the Lyon Firm

Mesothelioma in Ohio: Local Incidence & Statistics
The Ohio Department of Health reports an average of 145 new mesothelioma cases and 122 related deaths each year. The state’s rate—1.0 per 100,000 people—is slightly above the national average of 0.9.
Most cases are linked to long-term occupational asbestos exposure, especially in Ohio’s manufacturing and utility sectors. High-risk groups include tradespeople, union workers, equipment operators, maintenance crews, and military veterans, many of whom worked without adequate personal protective equipment.
“In a desperate life altering crisis, Joe Lyon quietly entered my life. My husband was losing battle with mesothelioma. Joe came respectfully, professionally, kindly and beneficially towards our family. I felt he was Heaven sent. It has been an honor to know and work with Joe.”
— Marlene Beal | Client of The Lyon Firm
