Railroad workers were constantly exposed to the harm presented by asbestos exposure, especially the people performing repair and maintenance jobs on parts of the train that were insulated with asbestos-containing products. If these materials needed to be cut, sanded or drilled into, asbestos dust would have been created releasing microscopic particles of asbestos into the near environment.
Claim EvaluationThe inhalation of these particles leads to the development of diseases resulting in high fatality rates like mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer or serious respiratory conditions.
People exposed through spouse, husband, parent, relative.

If you are too ill, a family member can help you with the legal process. In the unfortunate event that you pass away before recovering compensation, your surviving family members will receive compensation on your behalf.
Lung Cancer Mesothelioma Throat Cancer Esophageal Cancer Bronchial Cancer Gastrointestinal Cancer Colorectal CancerIf, however, you struggle with non-cancerous pleural diseases such as asbestosis, pulmonary fibrosis, pleural plaques, pleural effusion, diffuse pleural thickening, COPD (emphysema & chronic bronchitis), pleurisy, lung nodules, lung spots, asthma, pneumonitis, tuberculosis, rounded atelectasis or lung scarring, please seek a second or even a third opinion as the rate of misdiagnosis is very high among the victims of asbestos exposure.
Railroad workers might have been exposed to asbestos on the job in multiple ways. Numerous products they regularly interacted with contained asbestos including sealing cement, gaskets, brake pads, ceiling tiles, wallboards, clutches, and plaster. Asbestos insulation was also present in various locomotive parts such as on the engine and boiler, as well as in electrical panels, carriages, driving cabins and even under the train. However, the repair and maintenance of asbestos-containing components were not the only jobs with a high risk of exposure. Due to the prevalence of asbestos, railroad workers who were assigned different tasks might have easily been exposed as well.
