Railway Workers: Our lawyers have a history of winning asbestos related lung cancer cases

An ex-railway employee with lung cancer and his wife, who has asbestosis, have filed an asbestos lawsuit against a railway company.

The man worked for 30 years as a conductor, switchman and brakeman for the railway.

He claims his job exposed him in close proximity to asbestos, silica dust, paints and degreasers, which ultimately caused his lung cancer.

His wife claims she contracted the disease through regular exposure to asbestos when she washed her husband's work clothes.

Both say the railway company was negligent because it failed to provide a reasonably safe place to work, failed to provide him with safe respiratory devices, and failed to warn workers of the dangers of working around asbestos and other dangerous chemicals.

Many railway workers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
