Railroad Cancer Claims
Railroad workers face significant exposure to toxic substances like diesel exhaust, asbestos, benzene, chemical solvents, creosote, welding fumes, silica sand, benzene-containing degreasers, herbicides, secondhand smoke, and more.
Prolonged exposure to these carcinogens has been linked to serious health conditions, including:
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
- Bladder cancer
- Bone cancer
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Colorectal Cancer
- Diesel Asthma
- Emphysema
- Esophageal Cancer
- Hodgkin’s disease
- Kidney Cancer

- Lung Cancer
- Lymphoma
- Multiple Myeloma (MM)

Many of those health concerns are different forms of cancer. The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) provides legal recourse for railroad workers harmed by unsafe working conditions, and specifically, railroad workers who developed cancers as a result of their work may be entitled to compensation under FELA and may be eligible to file a claim with the help of our experienced railroad cancer attorneys.
