Missouri & Illinois Silicosis Attorneys
Breathing silica dust is known to cause silicosis a devastating disease that causes scarring and inflammation of the lungs, as well as thousands of deaths worldwide each year. It particularly affects sandblasters, mine, quarry, ceramics, and foundry workers.
Silicosis is a subtype of pneumoconiosis, which is a term encompassing many types of lung diseases caused by breathing harmful dust, including asbestosis, as well as anthracosis, bauxite fibrosis, berylliosis, siderosis, byssinosis, silicosiderosis, and stannosis. If you have any of these diseases as a result of your working conditions, you may have a workers’ compensation case.
