Millions of Americans devoted decades of their life working in the railroad industry. Those who were employed prior to 1982 did this all while being unknowingly exposed to toxic asbestos at the workplace.
If you were one of the workers who was exposed to asbestos as a result of employers and manufacturers of asbestos keeping the dangers of this material a secret, we want to work with you. Our team helps get money for retired railroad employees with asbestosis and other asbestos-related diseases.
How Was Asbestos Used by the Railroad Industry?
Asbestos was used in everything from brake shoes to ashtrays distributed to passengers on the train. This means, even if you worked in the locomotive you were vulnerable to inhaling and digesting microscopic asbestos fibers. These fibers are too small to detect in the air and once they are inhaled or ingested they can become embedded in your body forever. This can lead to deadly genetic mutations and painful scarring inside of your body.
While the manufacturers of asbestos containing brake pads and other asbestos products were aware of the risks associated with this toxic material they never shared the dangers with the public. These companies chose to continue profiting off of their products at the expense of blue collar Americans.

What is Asbestosis?
Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease that occurs due to prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in various industries for its heat resistance, durability, and insulating properties. However, it was later discovered that inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, including asbestosis.
When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed or damaged, microscopic asbestos fibers are released into the air. When these fibers are inhaled, they can become lodged in the lungs and cause inflammation and scarring over time. The accumulated scar tissue makes it difficult for the lungs to expand and contract properly, leading to breathing difficulties and other respiratory symptoms.
It’s important to note that asbestosis is just one of the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Exposure to asbestos fibers can also lead to other serious conditions, including lung cancer and mesothelioma (a rare cancer affecting the lining of the lungs or other organs). If you suspect exposure to asbestos or experience respiratory symptoms, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.
