At Hughes Law Offices, we thoroughly assess workplaces to identify toxins, such as diesel exhaust and asbestos, contributing to diagnosed occupational illnesses. Railroads have been aware of asbestos causing cancer for over 50 years. Despite this knowledge, today’s railroad workers remain at risk of asbestos exposure. If you suspect a connection between your illness or that of a loved one and workplace exposures, contact Hughes Law Offices for a free attorney consultation. Railroad workers faced asbestos exposure for decades. Learn more about the timeline of railroad worker asbestos exposures here.
