Asbestos Exposure History in Missouri
Asbestos Exposure in Missouri
Missouri ranks #16 nationally in cumulative mesothelioma deaths. The St. Louis industrial corridor — Mallinckrodt Chemical (Manhattan Project uranium processing), McDonnell-Douglas, Anheuser-Busch, the Carondelet area — drove the bulk of MO\'s exposure history. Kansas City\'s Bendix Plant and historic industrial operations rounded it out.
St. Louis Asbestos Litigation
The Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis has historically been one of the more plaintiff-friendly asbestos venues in the country. Cases involving St. Louis exposure are typically filed there.
