Summit County is Rubber City itself — the Goodyear, Firestone, and B.F. Goodrich works of Akron and the Barberton chemical and boiler plants (Babcock & Wilcox among them). Rubber curing, chemical processing, and boilermaking are high-heat trades that reportedly ran on asbestos 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).
