Asbestos is a dangerous material that was prominently used by the railroad industry for decades after they were aware of its toxicity. Asbestos was commonly used to insulate parts on steam locomotives and diesel locomotives, such as boilers, the exterior engine, under the metal body of the train, in boxcars, ceilings of cabooses, pipe coverings, electrical panels, and the driving cabins.
Individuals who were employed by a railroad company before 1982 are at high-risk for developing asbestos-related illness as a result of their time working around this harmful material. Asbestos releases microscopic fibers that once are airborne, can easily be inhaled or ingested. Once these fibers make their way into the body, they can easily become stuck, permanently embedding into soft tissue. This can lead to genetic mutations and internal scarring.
Money is available for railroad workers that have been exposed to asbestos and have since developed health conditions or injuries. This does not have to mean lung cancer or mesothelioma, it can mean shortness of breath or internal scarring that you may not be aware of. Our asbestos attorneys work with those who were employed by the railroad industry to recover the money they deserve.
