Silica is the common name for the substance
silicon dioxide, a substance critically
important to many industries, including
glass making, construction, and concrete
manufacture. Unfortunately long
term exposure to silica dust is the cause
of one of the most dangerous industrial
disease, silicosis.
Silicosis is characterized by a number
of respiratory problems. The grains
of silica enter the lungs where they
cause damage to the delicate tissues
and form fibrotic scar tissue. This
scar tissue prevents the lungs from reoxygenating
the blood which will eventually cause
death.
If you or someone you love developed
silicosis you may have the legal right
to seek compensation for your damages. Industrial
disease litigation is extremely confusing
and complicated, which is why you need
to have the right lawyers representing
you. Contact our dedicated, experienced,
