SILICOSIS: NOTICE FOR WORKER COMPENSATION
Lawsuits have been filed to compensate workers for lung problems caused by silica dust exposure.
Construction workers are commonly exposed to silica dust at work sites (usually from sand or rock chip dust). The US safety agency OSHA estimates that up to 2 million workers each year are exposed to unsafe levels of silica dust. Usually this happens at construction sites where large amounts of concrete or rock are broken into dust.

Silica dust accumulates in the lungs and reduces lung capacity and function. Over time this has long term devastating consequences. These are the initial symptoms.
If you have these symptoms and have been exposed to silica dust, then you should consider contacting a doctor.
| Do I Qualify for a Class Action Claim? |
If you or a member of your family has any of these conditions above and has been exposed to silica dust for an extended period, then you may qualify for a compensation claim.
Many industries, such as construction companies, mining companies and safety products makers, face liability for silicosis claims. Silicosis is no secret. Companies knew about these risks before you were exposed to silica dust in heavy amounts. Many victims of silicosis have recovered large six figure settlements to compensate them for health problems and costs.
In America today there are thousands of class actions and billions of dollars in unclaimed monies available for victims. If you have been wronged by a major corporation, you may be entitled to compensation.
