Diesel Exposure Railroad Workers
Across the country, thousands of former workers in the transportation industry have fallen ill with occupational lung diseases and have been diagnosed with several types of railroad workers cancer. Following any new cancer diagnosis, individuals and families can choose to seek out a railroad cancer attorney and file a personal injury claim against a former employer.
Can I File a Railroad Cancer Lawsuit?
Any worker who has suffered an injury or related occupational illness on the job can contact an attorney and discuss their legal options. In many cases, former workers who later develop diesel exposure lung cancer, or another medical condition closely linked to toxic exposure, can elect to file a complaint against a former employer to recover damages.
By filing a railroad workers cancer lawsuit, victims can ensure their financial future and also hold negligent companies accountable for failing to properly protect their employees at various work sites. Workers diagnosed with a toxic exposure diesel fuel cancer may be eligible to recover the following in a railroad cancer settlement:
- Medical Expenses: the cost of healthcare can completely overwhelm many families, and we work to reimburse any costs related to an occupational cancer, including expenses incurred in the past, present and in the future. We aim to reach a settlement package that pays for any health expenses that are not covered by your insurance plan, including consultations with specialists, treatment plans, medications, surgeries, rehab and long-term care.
- Lost Wages: many employees who suffer from a railroad workers cancer must leave their job, and may not be able to return to the workplace in the same capacity. We can file workers compensation and FELA claims, as well as a separate railroad workers cancer lawsuit that should cover lost earnings in the past, present and future. We will fight to recover damages on your behalf.
- Non-material Damages: many of our settlements will include damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life and any other damages that may be difficult to quantify.
