Silicosis is a type of industrial injury
caused by the inhalation of fine particles
of stone or dust. When an individual
inhales enough of this material it can
affect lung function and cause a number
of respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
There are a number of types of silicosis,
but two of the most infamous types are
Black Lung Disease and Asbestosis. Black
Lung Disease is most often suffered by
coal miners who must labor in poorly
ventilated mines while inhaling coal
dust. Asbestosis is the consequence
of anyone inhaling asbestos fibers over
a period of time. These small fibers
destroy the delicate tissue in the lungs
preventing the person from breathing
properly.
If you or someone you love developed
silicosis you may have a right to pursue
a legal settlement based on your situation.
Make sure that those responsible for
your condition compensation you for your
suffering. Contact a lawyer today.
