Kentucky Railroad Injury Lawyers

Thousands of former railroad workers around the country have put in decades of hard work only to later get diagnosed with lung cancer or an occupational lung disease related to diesel fuel exposure. Workers have filed toxic exposure and personal injury lawsuits, alleging that employers should have known about these terrible risks and chose not to properly protect their staff.

When a career-ending injury or illness occurs, individuals and families can suffer financially well into the future. Worker’s Compensation and FELA claims can help workers in the near and intermediate term, but what about long-term disability and ensuring financial stability for your loved ones?

What can you recover in a Railroad Workers Cancer Lawsuit?

Every individual diesel exposure cancer case is unique, but they all have something in common: a toxin caused an illness.
