Occupational Toxic Exposure Lawsuits

Get compensation for your illness

Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can develop after exposure to harmful substances such as dust, chemicals, or toxic fumes in the workplace or military settings. The condition can affect the lungs, skin, and other organs, leading to long-term health complications and disability. Victims who develop sarcoidosis due to occupational or environmental exposure may be entitled to pursue legal action.

Sarcoidosis toxic exposure lawsuits seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering, while also holding negligent employers, manufacturers, or government entities accountable for unsafe conditions.

Occupational sarcoidosis is thought to be triggered by various toxins, likely in occupational settings like the railroad, mining, construction, metal working, lumber, agriculture, military, and radiation fields.

Sarcoidosis and other related lung conditions can occur in a variety workplace settings where toxins exist. The illness may have more than one cause and several triggers of inflammation.

Numerous metals can cause inflammation and lung disease, including beryllium, zirconium, titanium, rare earth elements, and aluminum. Workplace exposure to wood stoves, fireplaces, talc, silica, wood dust, ballast dust, fine grain dust, and mold can lead to lung disease.

Workplace Hazards & Occupational Sarcoidosis

Toxic workplace exposure and occupational sarcoidosis cases are generally noticed with certain professions, such as the following:

What is Sarcoidosis?

Sarcoidosis is a lung disease that causes the immune system to overreact, leading to health issues. Patients with sarcoidosis typically have clusters of inflamed tissue called granulomas on their body. Sarcoidosis most commonly affects the lungs, but it can also affect any organ in the body.

An increased inflammation in the body may cause flu-like symptoms, persistent cough, chest pain, joint pain, fatigue, and poor lung function from scarring. Eye, cardiac and skin damage has also been reported.

Occupational Sarcoidosis Lawsuits

The Lyon Firm represents injured plaintiffs in a variety of toxic workplace exposure lawsuits against negligent employers or corporations that fail to protect their employees.

Workers who develop sarcoidosis from toxic workplace exposure may recover medical costs, lost wages, disability benefits, and pain-and-suffering damages, depending on whether they pursue workers’ comp, personal injury claims, or both. Because sarcoidosis has multiple potential causes, proving workplace exposure as the source is often the biggest challenge — and hiring an experienced toxic exposure or occupational disease lawyer is crucial.

Factors That Influence Compensation

  • Medical documentation – proving that sarcoidosis was caused or worsened by toxic exposure (expert testimony is often required).

  • Work history – length and intensity of exposure in the workplace.

  • Severity of disease – whether sarcoidosis is mild and manageable, or severe with permanent organ damage.

  • State laws – compensation systems and available damages vary significantly by state

A Voice for Those who have suffered 

Why File a Lawsuit Following an Injury?

Toxic exposure cases help empower employees to fight for their right to be protected, satisfactorily informed, and to stay safe. They also bring awareness to challenge and raise the expectations of companies that are not serving their employees justly.

Filing a sarcoidosis lawsuit can be one of the most important steps a worker or their family takes, especially if the workplace toxic exposure leads to serious health conditions like cancer, lung disease, sarcoidosis, neurological disorders, or other chronic illnesses. Unlike a basic workers’ compensation claim, which often has strict limits, a lawsuit can hold negligent companies fully accountable and help victims secure the financial and medical resources they truly need.

Questions about Sarcoidosis Lawsuits

Who can file a Toxic Exposure Lawsuit?

Anyone who has been harmed by toxic exposure in the workplace may be eligible to file an occupational toxic exposure lawsuit, but the right to file often depends on the circumstances, the type of exposure, and the harm suffered.

Who is responsible for my illness?

If your employer failed to protect employees from potential toxic exposure that led to an illness or serious medical condition, they may be liable for damages. 

How did I develop sarcoidosis?

This illness may be triggered by numerous internal and external factors, including contact with harmful chemicals or toxic substances at the workplace. Many former railroad workers have been diagnosed with various occupational lung cancers and medical conditions related to their chronic exposures to silica, ballast dust, benzene, welding fumes and diesel fumes. Many rail yards are filled with hazardous materials that can easily cause illness. Railroad sarcoidosis cases have been reported in many former workers.
