Clermont County holds the Ohio River power plants at Moscow (Zimmer) and New Richmond (Beckjord), where the boilers, turbines, and process systems of coal-fired generation reportedly relied heavily on asbestos-containing insulation and gaskets.
Ohio asbestos cases are filed in the Court of Common Pleas of the county of proper venue — there is no single statewide asbestos court, though Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) has historically carried Ohio’s largest asbestos docket. Ohio allows two years from a mesothelioma or asbestos-cancer diagnosis to file (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10), and two years from the date of death for a wrongful-death claim (§ 2125.02).
