Silicosis

Minneapolis Personal Injury Lawyer

If you have worked on a job such as construction or mining or working for a railroad and were exposed over long periods of time to silica particles without adequate protection provided by your employer, you may become affected by the condition called silicosis.  Black lung, Potter's rot and asbestosis are other forms of the same disease.  Silicosis causes gradual and debilitating damage to the victim's lungs.  It leads to a restriction in the ability to breathe and makes it hard for the body to adequately supply oxygen throughout the body.  If you suspect or have been diagnosed with silicosis, you should call a Minneapolis personal injury attorney at Butwinick Donaldson, The Action Lawyers. 

We are prepared to help you pursue a claim for the illness and damages caused by your condition if it can be shown to have resulted from your job or work environment.  Because of the nature of the disease, it can take some time to properly diagnose and determine the extent of the damage.  Treatments are possible if the condition has not progressed too far.  Victims of silicosis are much more susceptible to contracting tuberculosis especially if it is not diagnosed prior to exposure to tuberculosis.  Once properly diagnosed, we can help you file a claim against your employer to seek financial compensation for your medical treatments and additional damages.
