Railroad Cancer Attorneys
Investigating diesel exhaust cancer claims on behalf of Conrail & CSX rail yard workers
At one point in history, at the height of the American steel production era, the Allentown Yard in Allentown, Pennsylvania, was an extremely important transportation hub operated by Conrail. Eventually, Conrail operations were split up, and CSX took charge of many of the region’s railyards in the 1990s.
Throughout the decades, however, regardless of who was running the railroad companies, the workers in the field faced continual occupational exposure to numerous toxic materials, including the following:
- Creosote – coal tar pitch
- Industrial solvents
- Diesel fumes
- Asbestos
- Welding fumes
- Silica dust
- Benzene
Can Allentown Yard Workers File Diesel Exposure Lawsuits?
If you or a loved one has a history of working at rail yards operated by CSX or Conrail, and later developed a related toxic exposure cancer, you may be eligible for the following types of compensation:
-
Medical Expenses: We seek for our clients full compensation and reimbursement of all hospital bills, treatment costs, surgeries, rehab sessions and medications.
-
Lost Wages: Compensation packages will likely include lost earnings in the past and future in the event that a worker missed work due to illness, and may not be able to return to their workplace in the same capacity.
-
Pain and Suffering: Non-material damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life, and wrongful death can be sought.
-
Punitive Damages: Some plaintiffs in lawsuits aim to not only compensate victims of toxic workplace exposure, but also to ensure that the companies responsible for the injuries are encouraged to change their work safety practices. This is achieved primarily with financial punishments, sadly sometimes the only way real changes are made.
Every railroad cancer case is different, and it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to learn more about the legal process, and how to build a strong case. We work on a contingency fee basis and when we accept cases, we assume all financial risks. Please prepare your work history documentation and medical records and we can begin processing your railroad diesel cancer claims.
