Investigating diesel exhaust exposure and lung cancer claims on behalf of Iowa railroaders

The Lyon Firm has the experience and the willingness to take on difficult workplace injury and toxic exposure cases. We believe very strongly that any employer has a duty to protect workers, follow all OSHA safety guidelines, adhere to NIOSH health standards, and provide all the proper safety equipment workers may need.

Joe Lyon has settled numerous work injury claims on behalf of plaintiffs nationwide, and works with some leading industry experts to build a strong case. Six and seven-figure settlements are likely when a career railroader falls ill with an occupational cancer and can link workplace toxic exposure to their particular medical condition. Contact us to help you draw these important connections between chronic toxic exposure and a serious medical condition.

What Can Plaintiffs Recover in a Railroad Lung Cancer Lawsuit?

Each individual case is unique, however, most claims will get settled before they can reach trial due to the railroad companies fears that a large verdict could be handed down by a jury. Settlements in these types of cases can compensate ex-workers and families for the following:

• Medical Bills: Workers can be compensated in full for all past, current and future medical expenses related to an occupational illness or injury. If your basic insurance does not cover it, you deserve to be compensated for any out-of-pocket medical bills. Treatments, medications, consultations with specialists, hospital visits, rehab programs, and long-term care can be covered.
• Lost Wages: If an Iowa Interstate Railroad worker must leave their job because of an occupational cancer or injury they can be covered by FELA, workers compensation, and possibly a personal injury lawsuit if an employer has been negligent in keeping a safe work environment. All lost wages in the past and future can be compensated.

Contact a railroad cancer attorney as soon as you get a confirmed cancer diagnosis from your doctor. It is important to file claims early to avoid any time limits in filing a claim. We can ensure that you and your family have a better financial future, and that any negligent company is held liable for a related injury or illness.
