Silicosis Injury Attorneys in Arlington Fort Worth

Silica is the second most common mineral in the earth's crust, and silicosis is a disabling and sometimes fatal lung disease caused by overexposure to it. More than 1 million U.S. workers are exposed to crystalline silica, and more than 250 American workers die with silicosis each year. No cure exists for the disease, but it is preventable.

Those most at risk for exposure to silica are workers in the construction, glass manufacturing, agriculture, railroad, and soap and detergent manufacturing industries and foundry workers. Those who remove paint and rust from buildings and other surfaces, as well as those who clean foundry castings, work with stone or clay, etch or frost glass, and work in construction also are at risk. More than 100,000 U.S. workers are exposed to silica through rock drilling, sandblasting, and mining.

If you've been diagnosed with silicosis, you may be entitled to compensation. Make an appointment now and let Ted Machi & Associates evaluate your claim.
