How to Get a Settlement For Asthma Caused by the Railroad
Railroad workers are exposed to a range of toxic chemicals and substances. Some, like asbestos, can cause cancer. Others, such as diesel fumes can cause asthma and other pulmonary diseases.
Railroad workers with severe asthma as a result of their work could be eligible to settle a claim under FELA. Our lawyers can assist them to claim compensation.
Diesel Exhaust
Railroad workers who work around diesel trains and other diesel-powered equipment are exposed to potentially hazardous fumes on a every day basis. When these fumes combine with other toxic substances in the workplace, such as creosote and silica sand, they can create toxic mixtures that can cause lung conditions such as asthma.
If a railroad employee develops asthma because of negligence on the part of the employer the employee could be eligible for compensation under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). Diesel exhaust can trigger asthma that can lead to diminished wages or a decreased quality of life. In some cases the condition can be chronic and prevent a railroad worker from returning to their previous job. A railroad worker who has developed asthma as the result of an employer's act of negligence should seek the advice of an attorney who handles train accidents to learn more about their legal rights and options for seeking compensation.
Diesel exhaust is a mixture of solid, liquid and gas pollutants that can vary in composition depending on the fuel type and operating conditions of the engine as well as the an oil that is used to lubricate the engine. It typically contains carbon particles, also known as soot, along with various cancer-causing organic chemicals, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols.
In one case where a jury in Lucas County awarded $625,000 to locomotive engineer Rodney Cutlip for developing asthma because of inhaling diesel exhaust on the job. The jury decided that Norfolk Southern Corp. violated FELA by failing to keep its locomotive cabs adequately ventilated, and by employing the practice of "deadheading" which required engineers to ride in the front of locomotives instead of in the rear, which is where they would be exposed to more diesel exhaust.
Asbestos
Asbestos consists of six minerals that are found in nature. It is used in industrial and commercial construction due to its strength and flexible. It is also resistant to electricity, fire, and chemicals. Despite its numerous applications, asbestos is believed to cause serious health problems. When exposed to the air, asbestos fibers can enter the lungs and get trapped within the tissue. This can cause respiratory issues like mesothelioma and asbestosis.
Railroad workers exposed to diesel exhaust, chemical fumes silica sand and asbestos could develop breathing problems which require medication or hospitalization. Some workers may be permanently affected, and railroad not longer be able work in the railway industry.
When exposed to asbestos, tiny fibers enter the lungs through the nose or mouth. The body's natural defenses take out the majority of the fibres however, some may evade these defenses and get lodged in the most abysmal part of the lung. Some of these fibres can remain for a long time within the lung, increasing the risk of developing diseases such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Anyone who has been exposed to asbestos should visit your doctor right away. A doctor can conduct a chest X ray and tests for pulmonary function to determine how well the lungs function. A doctor could also order a CT scan or biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestosis.
Poor Ventilation
Poor ventilation is an important asthma trigger. It can be caused by anything from an inadequate supply of fresh air to the use of unsuitable cleaning products. It is crucial to use a hygrometer every day and check the indoor humidity levels. Also, use bathroom exhaust fans and open the windows during showers. Clean your surfaces regularly and apply a sanitizer that contains a small amount of chemicals. These steps can prevent the growth of mold or other moisture-related damage in indoor air quality.
