Employees of Unclassified Railroads At Risk for Asbestos Disease

For decades, commercial railroads have been used to transport countless materials, including coal, agricultural products and other cargo. Unfortunately the men and women who worked for national, passenger and unclassified railroads were exposed to asbestos on the job.

Even in 2009, asbestos products continue to be used by cargo railroad carriers, including asbestos-containing brake and clutch components.  Exposure to the dangerous carcinogen is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer or asbestosis.

For two decades, the experienced asbestos lawyers at Weitz & Luxenberg have been helping asbestos patients and families to seek compensation for their illness. Our lawyers are ready to help you and your family as well.
