Although everyone breathes in dust every
day, some workers are at particular risk
because they are exposed to a form of
dust containing silica. This dust
works its way into the delicate tissues
in the lung where they cause injury and
scar tissue. This scar tissue prevents
the lungs from working properly and will
eventually cause death.
Some of the professions most at risk
for developing silicosis include:
- Concrete masons
- Construction workers
- Foundry workers
- Mining
- Quarrying
- Sandblasting
If you or someone you know worked in
these professions they are at extreme
risk of suffering from silicosis at some
point in their lives. In fact,
there are up to one million workers exposed
to silicosis every day, and few of them
realize their potential danger.
Long term industrial injuries are some
of the most complicated types of litigation. Proving
your case requires extensive legal expertise,
knowledge, and dedication. Let
our attorneys represent you and get you
the settlement you deserve. Contact
