The postcards show beaches, but for most of the twentieth century Florida's paychecks came from pine-pulp mills, Navy and Air Force bases, phosphate and sugar processing, shipyards, and a chain of power stations up both coasts. Each of them ran on steam and heat, and asbestos was what held that heat in. Region by region, here is where the trusts' Florida lists run thickest:
- Pensacola and Escambia County — St. Regis Paper's mill at Cantonment, the worksite most trusts recognize in the state, Monsanto's Chemstrand nylon plant, and Naval Air Station Pensacola;
- the Panhandle and Big Bend mill towns — St. Joe Paper at Port St. Joe, International Paper at Panama City, and the Buckeye Cellulose mill at Foley, near Perry;
- Jacksonville and the northeast coast — St. Regis Paper's Jacksonville mill and Jacksonville Shipyards on the St. Johns River, and the Container Corporation and Rayonier mills at Fernandina Beach;
- the utility plants — Florida Power & Light's Riviera and Sanford plants and Florida Power Corporation's Crystal River plant;
- phosphate and sugar country — the Polk County phosphate plants around Bartow and Mulberry, and the Okeelanta and U.S. Sugar mills along the south shore of Lake Okeechobee; and
- the Space Coast — Kennedy Space Center and Patrick Air Force Base.
When these companies went bankrupt, the trusts set up to pay their asbestos claims each published a list of locations where its products were proven to be present. For Florida, those lists hold more than 2,000 entries across 266 communities, from 27 asbestos trusts. One plant can appear many times, under different names or on different trusts' lists. More than a hundred of our clients worked at Florida job sites.
Every asbestos trust claim has to prove two things: that a company's asbestos-containing product was present at a job site, and that the worker handled that product, or worked close enough to it, to breathe its dust. If you or your loved one worked at a site on those lists during the applicable years, the first half is already established, because the trust has acknowledged its products were there.
We help workers who are alive and recently diagnosed, adult children and spouses researching on behalf of someone who is sick, and families of workers who have already passed away from mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. If you are a worker who has just been diagnosed, calling early keeps more options open for your family. There is still a claim to be made for families of workers who have already passed; we handle wrongful death cases routinely.
You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
Florida filing deadlines and trust eligibility, in brief
Florida gives a diagnosed worker two or four years to file, depending on the kind of claim. Exactly when the clock starts varies, so to be safe, count two years from the date of diagnosis. A separate deadline applies once a worker has passed away. If your loved one is alive and diagnosed, calling early keeps more options open.
Florida deadlines, the wrongful-death rule, and how they apply to your family
Most workers exposed before 1983 can also file against the Johns-Manville Settlement Trust independently of anything documented at a specific site. How trust eligibility works.
We help families of workers who have already passed away. Wrongful death cases are a core part of our practice. We handle the documentation reconstruction; the family does not need to come in with records.
The sites profiled below show confirmed asbestos products based on the asbestos trusts established for companies that did business there. Those trusts exist because Clarence Borel, a Gulf Coast insulator, chose to sue in 1969 — not for himself, but because he realized his coworkers would die the same way he was dying. His decision created the legal framework that produced the trust system you're about to scan.
Today the choice is yours. You can file trust claims based on the documented exposure at your loved one's worksite — paper claims, no courtroom. Or you can follow Clarence Borel and also sue the manufacturers and premises owners directly, which allows us to build a full exposure profile for every site your loved one worked at and recover from defendants the trust system doesn't reach. Read his story.
Asbestos trust coverage across Florida
The Johns-Manville Settlement Trust is open to most workers exposed before 1983, regardless of which specific worksite the exposure occurred at. Johns-Manville supplied so much asbestos and so many asbestos products across so many American industries that the trust does not require site-specific documentation. For mesothelioma claims, even one day of asbestos exposure before December 31, 1982 (at work or through a family member's work clothes brought into the home) can qualify a worker for Johns-Manville Settlement Trust compensation.
For lung cancer, asbestosis, and other non-mesothelioma asbestos diseases, the threshold is 60 months of total asbestos exposure with at least 6 months occurring before December 31, 1982. The one-day-of-exposure threshold for mesothelioma reflects how the disease actually develops (even brief exposure can cause it) and most major asbestos trusts apply similarly low-threshold eligibility for mesothelioma claims.
Because Johns-Manville keeps no site list of its own, every worksite on another trust's list also qualifies for Johns-Manville. Twenty-six other trusts list Florida worksites. The number of Florida entries on each trust's list:
- Johns-Manville: no list of its own; every site on the other trusts' lists qualifies
- Babcock & Wilcox: 393 entries (industrial and utility boilers)

Trust coverage at this depth means most Florida workers with significant industrial exposure histories will trigger filings against multiple trusts simultaneously — typically Johns-Manville plus the site-specific trusts documented at their worksites.
Florida cities and their industries
Open a city to see the worksites there that the asbestos trusts recognize, grouped by industry, with why each industry used asbestos.
JacksonvilleJacksonville's St. Johns River waterfront gathered paper and container mills, shipyards, and the city's own power plants, with the Navy's air station on the river's west bank.

Mesothelioma settlement values at Florida's most-documented worksites
These worksites appear on the approved-site lists of at least five trusts besides Johns-Manville. Trust counts are minimums: a trust may list a site under a name we haven't yet matched to it. The years are the exposure window the trusts' lists recognize at each site; most lists end at 1982.
Open a worksite to see each trust that lists it, with the mesothelioma values the trust publishes and its current payment percentage. "Trust values together" adds up those trusts' values at their payment percentages: the low figure uses each trust's scheduled value, the high figure each trust's published maximum, which Individual Review can reach. Most mesothelioma claims are paid above the scheduled value. But each trust sets its own eligibility rules — the years, the work, and the length of exposure it requires — so few people qualify for every trust on a list, some trusts publish no fixed schedule, and these figures are not a prediction of any recovery. All trust values and payment percentages.

A closer look at major Florida worksites
The worksites below are recognized by the most asbestos trusts in Florida — eleven or more, counting Johns-Manville — together with Naval Air Station Pensacola, the state's best-known Navy base. Each profile draws on the trust signatures present at the site to identify the products workers handled, the trades most heavily exposed, and the asbestos types they likely encountered. Your specific worksite may be documented even if it doesn't appear here — call us.
St. Regis Paper mill (Florida Pulp & Paper, Champion) — Cantonment
The kraft mill at Cantonment, north of Pensacola, began as Florida Pulp & Paper and was run for decades by St. Regis Paper. Champion International acquired St. Regis in 1984, and International Paper acquired Champion in 2000. The trusts list the mill under St. Regis, Florida Pulp & Paper (one listing calls it St. Regis's Pensacola mill), and Champion, filed under both Cantonment and Pensacola; it is one facility.
Workers exposed. Kraft mill operations required boilermakers, pipefitters, refractory workers maintaining recovery boilers and lime kilns, insulators, millwrights, mechanics, and electricians.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 15 asbestos trusts — A.P. Green, ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Combustion Engineering, DII Industries (Halliburton), DII Industries (Harbison-Walker), Eagle-Picher, Fibreboard, Kaiser Aluminum, NARCO, Owens Corning, Owens-Illinois, Turner & Newall, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1943 through 1982. No Florida worksite is recognized by more trusts.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Babcock & Wilcox and Combustion Engineering boilers — including the recovery boilers at the heart of kraft pulping — carried pipe and block insulation and gaskets and packing on access doors and steam connections, and A.P. Green, Harbison-Walker, NARCO, and Kaiser refractory lined the recovery boilers and lime kilns. Because the Owens-Illinois trust signature is present, Owens-Illinois Kaylo high-temperature pipe insulation, an amosite (brown asbestos) product, was used at this site during the 1948–1958 manufacturing window, with Owens Corning continuing the Kaylo line afterward; Fibreboard pipe insulation and Eagle-Picher insulating cement covered more of the steam piping. The ACandS and Armstrong signatures point to insulation contracting crews, and Turner & Newall's Limpet sprayed asbestos carried amosite. The Halliburton signature reflects pumps and compressors from Ingersoll, Dresser, Pacific, and Worthington. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories, and crocidolite (blue asbestos) appeared in the gaskets and packing on the recovery boilers and in high-temperature steam service.
Buckeye Cellulose mill (Procter & Gamble) — Foley
Procter & Gamble's Buckeye Cellulose division built the mill at Foley, just outside Perry in Taylor County, in the 1950s to make chemical cellulose from Southern pine. Buckeye was spun off from Procter & Gamble in 1993 as Buckeye Technologies. The trusts list the mill under Buckeye Cellulose, Buckeye Paper, and Procter & Gamble, filed under both Foley and Perry; it is one facility.
Workers exposed. Specialty cellulose mill operations at this scale required pipefitters, insulators, boilermakers, millwrights working the pulp digesters and drying machines, refractory workers maintaining recovery boilers and lime kilns, mechanics, electricians, and dedicated maintenance crews across the pulping line and the steam-generation plant.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 13 asbestos trusts — A.P. Green, ABB Lummus, ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Combustion Engineering, DII Industries (Halliburton), Eagle-Picher, Fibreboard, Owens Corning, Raytech, Turner & Newall, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1952 through 1982.

Babcock & Wilcox and Combustion Engineering recovery and power boilers carried pipe and block insulation and gaskets and packing, with Owens Corning's Kaylo line, its high-temperature grades made with amosite (brown asbestos), and Fibreboard pipe covering on the steam piping and Eagle-Picher insulating cement at fittings and irregular surfaces. The ACandS and Armstrong signatures point to insulation contracting crews, Turner & Newall's Limpet sprayed asbestos carried amosite, and ABB Lummus did engineering and construction work. The Halliburton signature reflects pumps and compressors from Ingersoll, Dresser, Pacific, and Worthington, and the Raytech signature reflects friction products on the mill's heavy equipment. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories, and crocidolite (blue asbestos) appeared in the gaskets and packing of the pulping line's acid and high-temperature service.
St. Regis Paper mill — Jacksonville
St. Regis Paper operated one of the largest paper mills in Northeast Florida along the St. Johns River industrial corridor. St. Regis became part of Champion International in 1984, and Champion part of International Paper in 2000. The trusts list the mill under St. Regis Paper, St. Regis Kraft, and individual pieces of it such as a liquor storage tank and a dual-pressure steam line.
Workers exposed. Major kraft paper operations required boilermakers, pipefitters, refractory workers, millwrights, paper machine operators, lime kiln operators, recovery boiler operators, insulators, mechanics, and electricians spread across the digesters, recovery boilers, evaporators, paper machines, and the on-site power generation.

The Armstrong signature points to insulation contracting crews, ABB Lummus did engineering and construction work, the Halliburton signature reflects pumps and compressors from Ingersoll, Dresser, Pacific, and Worthington, and GAF documentation points to roofing felts and mastics. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Container Corporation of America mill (Jefferson Smurfit) — Fernandina Beach
Container Corporation of America's kraft mill on Amelia Island made linerboard for corrugated boxes. Jefferson Smurfit acquired Container Corporation in 1986, and the mill later passed through Smurfit-Stone Container to WestRock. The trusts list it under Container Corporation, Jefferson Smurfit, and Smurfit-Stone; it is one facility. The Rayonier pulp mill, also in Fernandina Beach, is listed separately.
Workers exposed. Kraft containerboard production required boilermakers, pipefitters, refractory workers, millwrights, insulators, and electricians working across digesters, recovery boilers, lime kilns, and the paper machine line.

How a Florida case may work
Dominic is a 76-year-old retired paper mill maintenance worker from Jacksonville. From 1968 through 2002 — 34 years — he worked at St. Regis Paper in Jacksonville, primarily in maintenance and engineering supporting the kraft pulp operations, the recovery boilers, the paper machines, the lime kiln, and the on-site power generation. His daily work included cutting and fitting pre-formed pipe-covering and block insulation on steam piping (Owens-Illinois Kaylo, Fibreboard, and Owens Corning product); mixing and applying insulating cement at fittings and irregular surfaces (Eagle-Picher); chipping out and rebuilding refractory in the recovery boiler furnace and lime kiln (A.P. Green product); replacing pump packing and gaskets on the dozens of process pumps across the mill; and helping the boiler crews with insulation and refractory work during recovery boiler outages on both the Babcock & Wilcox and Combustion Engineering units. Like many Florida paper mill workers of his generation, Dominic had no idea his decades of maintenance work could cause cancer decades later. In February 2026, after persistent chest pain and pleural effusion, a biopsy at the VA Medical Center in Gainesville confirmed pleural mesothelioma of the epithelioid mesothelioma cell type — the most common mesothelioma histology.
For Dominic's family, the case structure is layered. The trusts' listings for the St. Regis Paper Jacksonville mill support parallel filings against at least eleven site-specific trusts — A.P. Green, ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Combustion Engineering, DII Industries (Halliburton), Eagle-Picher, Fibreboard, Owens Corning, Owens-Illinois, and Raytech. Dominic's pre-1983 exposure also qualifies him for the Johns-Manville Settlement Trust, independent of any site-specific documentation — the largest single asbestos trust in the United States. Trust claims typically resolve in three to nine months and require no courtroom appearance. In addition to the trust filings, Dominic's family can pursue a civil case in Duval County Circuit Court against the still-solvent manufacturers of the products he worked with (his claim against his own employer runs through workers' compensation) — the route that, since Clarence Borel's 1969 decision to sue, has built the body of asbestos liability that produced the trust system in the first place. If Dominic passes away during the case, Florida law ends his personal-injury case and his estate's personal representative brings a wrongful-death case in its place; the evidence gathered during his life carries forward. Our representation also includes free asbestos health screening for Dominic's wife and adult children, who may have been exposed at home through Dominic's work clothing across decades of mill work. The screening is a chest X-ray read by a B-reader, with a CT scan if needed; it looks for asbestos-related changes in the lungs and isn't a diagnosis or a reliable way to find mesothelioma early.
Recoveries from cases like Dominic's routinely fund what insurance does not cover — travel to academic cancer centers, lodging during extended treatment, out-of-pocket medication costs, and home help. The nearest NCI-designated cancer center for a North Florida worker is the University of Florida Health Cancer Center in Gainesville, where advanced treatments including HIPEC, lung-sparing surgery, and the latest immunotherapy combinations are available. The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa is an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center and a major mesothelioma treatment destination for Florida patients. When the written agreement and applicable law permit it, our firm can also advance the cost of travel and lodging when getting to the right treatment center matters. How legal recovery funds mesothelioma treatment access →.
For the full doctrinal treatment of Florida's discovery rule, statute of repose latent disease exception, comparative fault framework, premises liability standard, and damages framework, see the Florida mesothelioma law guide.
This example is general. Every case depends on the diagnosis, exposure history, dates, defendants, applicable law, and available evidence.
What happens when you call
A staff attorney answers — not a screener. The first call usually runs 20 to 30 minutes. We listen to the work history, identify which Florida worksites and trust channels apply to your loved one's exposure, and explain the timeline and case structure for your family's specific situation.
We never pressure anyone to retain us during the first call. If you decide to move forward, we come to you — phone, video, or home visit, whichever works best. No travel to our offices is required at any point in the case.
You do not need to come to the call with product names, exposure dates, or work records. We reconstruct the exposure history using our worksite database, the trust documentation for each manufacturer, employment and union records, and coworker interviews. The conversation starts with what you remember; we handle the documentation work from there.
A spouse, adult child, or other family member can call for the worker. Many of our first calls are from a daughter or wife researching on behalf of a parent or husband. That is standard, and the family member can make the call without the worker on the line.
Call 833-4-ASBESTOS for a free case review.

Frequently asked questions
Is my Florida worksite documented?
Probably yes. The asbestos trusts' approved-site lists hold more than 2,000 Florida entries in 266 communities — paper mills, chemical plants, naval bases, Air Force bases, power plants, shipyards, phosphate and sugar operations, and a wide range of smaller industrial and commercial operations across the state. You can search every entry on this page. Even if a specific facility isn't listed, we can often document exposure there through the products and contractors involved. Call us with the worksite name and we can confirm coverage during the first conversation.
What does "trust coverage" mean for my case?
When an asbestos manufacturer files for bankruptcy, it typically sets up a settlement trust to pay future asbestos victims. Each trust maintains documentation of where its products were used. When we say a site is "recognized by 6 trusts," we mean six different asbestos trusts have records establishing that their products were used at that location — meaning a worker exposed there is positioned to file claims against all six trusts. Trust claims operate as paper filings, separately from any civil lawsuit, and recoveries from one trust do not reduce or offset recoveries from another.
Does my loved one qualify for the Johns-Manville trust?
Probably yes, if your loved one had asbestos exposure before 1983 and developed an asbestos-related disease. Johns-Manville does not require proof that its products were at a specific worksite, and for mesothelioma even one day of exposure can qualify. How Johns-Manville eligibility works.
Do I need to know which asbestos products my loved one handled?
No. Most families do not arrive with product names. We reconstruct the exposure history using the trusts' site lists, the trust documentation for each manufacturer present at the site, employment and union records, and coworker interviews. The conversation starts with the work history; we handle the documentation from there.
What if my loved one worked at multiple Florida sites?
Multiple sites usually expands the trust filings rather than complicating them. A career that ran through St. Regis Paper Jacksonville, NAS Jacksonville civilian shipyard work, and a stint at the Northside Generating Station typically supports more trust filings than any single one of those sites in isolation. Tell us the whole career history on the first call.
What if my loved one's worksite has closed or been demolished?
It does not matter for the case. Trust claims are based on historical documentation of manufacturer activity at the site, not on the site's current operational status. Many of the paper mills, chemical plants, and utility stations on the trusts' Florida lists have closed or been demolished. The trust records persist.
Can we file a claim if my loved one already passed away?
Yes. Florida's Wrongful Death Act allows the family to recover when an asbestos-related disease caused the death. The wrongful death deadline is two years from the date of death, and the claim can be lost if the worker's own deadline ran out before death, so timing matters — call us as soon as possible after a death from mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. We handle the documentation reconstruction; the family does not need to come in with records.
My loved one served at NAS Pensacola, NAS Jacksonville, Mayport, MacDill, or Eglin — do federal benefits apply?
Yes. Active-duty Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard veterans diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease tied to service exposure may qualify for VA service-connected disability at a 100% rating, plus VA medical care including treatment at NCI cancer centers. Federal civilian employees at the same installations may qualify for FECA benefits. A civil or trust recovery doesn't reduce VA disability, but FECA must be repaid from a recovery against a manufacturer, and VA and FECA for the same disease generally require an election. We coordinate these benefits with the trust claims and any lawsuit case by case.
