Manufacturing & Industrial Workers’ Injury Lawyer in Chicago
For decades, asbestos was integrated into the materials and equipment used throughout American manufacturing and industrial facilities due to its excellent fire resistance and durability.
If you worked in a factory, plant, mill, or refinery in Chicago or the surrounding area, you may have been unknowingly exposed to toxic asbestos fibers, leading to a mesothelioma diagnosis years or even decades later.
At The Law Office of Gregory M. McMahon LLC, we focus exclusively on asbestos-related injuries suffered by industrial workers and their families. Our team fights for justice against the corporations that concealed this deadly danger.

High-Risk Industrial Work Environments
Asbestos was used in thousands of industrial products and in the very construction of the facilities themselves.
We represent workers from a wide range of industrial and manufacturing settings, including, but not limited to:
- Steel, metal, and chemical plants - Workers exposed to asbestos in furnaces, boilers, pipes, valves, and fireproofing materials.
- Machinists and millwrights – Those who worked with equipment that contained asbestos, such as brakes, clutches, gaskets, and electrical wiring, often releasing fibers during repairs or overhauls.
- Plumbers and pipefitters – Regularly handling asbestos insulation on pipes, boilers, and ducts, frequently in cramped spaces, increasing exposure.
- Oil refineries and power plants - Maintenance and operating personnel exposed to asbestos in high-temperature equipment insulation, gaskets, and packing.
- Machinery maintenance and repair - Engineers, welders, and maintenance crews who routinely cut, sanded, or tore out old asbestos insulation and parts to perform repairs, releasing plumes of fibers.
- Textile and paper mills - Exposure from machinery, thermal insulation, and fire-resistant equipment.
- Railroad workers – Particularly those who were involved in the maintenance of trains and tracks, where asbestos was used in various components, including brake pads and insulation materials.
- Insulators – Specializing in installing and removing asbestos insulation in buildings and ships, directly handling large amounts of asbestos materials.
Even workers who did not directly handle asbestos products were often exposed simply by working in poorly ventilated facilities where airborne fibers from other trades, like insulation removal or demolition, circulated freely.
