Railroad Cancer Lawyer: How to File a FELA Railroad Lawsuit

Federal Employees Liability Act (FELA) allows railroad workers who have been
exposed to toxic chemicals to make claims. A lawyer from the railroad industry
can review your case and help you in seeking compensation.

Several studies have linked benzene to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Creosote and diesel
exhaust are also carcinogens and can be found in trains.

Benzene

Benzene is employed in a number of industrial businesses to manufacture plastic
dyes, adhesives, dyes and solvents. It is also found in gasoline and cigarette
smoke and has been linked to a variety of health issues, including acute myeloid
leukemia (AML) as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CL), multiple myeloma
and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. People who work in the shoe manufacturing, oil
refining and chemical industries are at higher risk of exposure to benzene in
comparison to other workers.

Railroad workers are frequently exposed to a range of carcinogens as a result of
their work, such as diesel fumes, welding fumes and silica. Rail workers who
develop long-term illness or illness as a result of workplace exposure may be
able make a claim.





Patrick Haines, a partner at Napoli Shkolnik, has filed two lawsuits in Fort
Worth, Texas against BNSF Railroad for injuries railroad workers suffered as a
result of toxic exposures while on the job. The plaintiffs are a man and female
who claim to suffer from lung cancer, leukemia and bladder cancer.

In the lawsuits filed against BNSF the claim is that the Railroad was negligent
in failing to safeguard its workers from carcinogens such as benzene. The
lawsuits also assert that the Federal Employers Liability Act was violated. The
law was passed by Congress in 1908, to give railroad workers the right to sue
employers for work-related illnesses and injuries.

Glyphosate

Glyphosate, also called an herbicide or plant-protecting chemical is a common
ingredient in crops. It is also a component in Roundup which is a well-known
herbicide that is used by many home and commercial gardeners and farmers.
However certain studies have linked its use to certain kinds of cancer. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency has said that glyphosate "is not likely to cause
cancer in humans." The World Health Organization's International Agency for
Research on Cancer however, on the other hand, has been more critical of this
chemical and said it "probably carcinogenic."

A meta-analysis of four studies [17,2632] found an association between
glyphosate and hairy cell leukemia. The I 2 and P values however, were not high
and the heterogeneity did not attain statistical significance. A trim-andfill
analysis failed to identify bias in publications. The meta-RR for the meta-RR
was 1.4 (CI = 1.0 to 1.9).

EFSA has conducted an assessment of the potential risks posed by glyphosate to
human health in the European Union where it is registered as a substance active.
ECHA also conducted a risk assessment for the substance. Both EU regulators have
synchronised work plans to ensure that both assessments are taken into
consideration when a decision regarding the renewal of glyphosate's approval is
made.

The EPA requires herbicide producers to conduct a number of studies focusing on
the chemical's toxicological properties, environmental fate and possible
non-target impacts. These studies are also used to conduct formal risk
assessments by the EPA. lung cancer lawsuit quantify the likelihood of human
health harm through analyzing human biomonitoring as well as monitoring of food
residues and applying models of human exposure.

Creosote

Creosote, a chemical mixture which is used to lengthen the lifespan of railroad
ties. It was employed until 1984 in a railyard in Houston's Fifth Ward. A plume
of contaminant has spread to the predominantly black, low-income area nearby.
Creosote was identified as to be a possible cancer-causing chemical, and
residents have been fighting for the cleanup of the area for years.

In a recent verdict by the railroad an ex-railroad employee filed an action
against his employer. He claimed that exposure to creosote as well as cleaning
agents, as well in other hazardous substances led to his development of the
cancer. He claims to have contracted myelodysplastic disease which grew into
acute myeloid cancer. The plaintiff asserts that he was accountable to remove
railroad ties, drop them off and then put them in "soaking wet."

The lawsuit also asserts that he was burned to his hands, feet and head, and
from bad eyesight and weight gain as a result of the medication he's taking for
his condition. He also suffered from impotence as well as memory problems. If
you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with leukemia and you need a
lawyer, they can assist you in determining if the harmful chemicals present in
your workplace might be the cause of your illness.

Asbestos

Although it's now banned in the United States, asbestos once played a key role
in railroad operations. Railroad workers exposed to asbestos or who dealt with
asbestos were at a higher risk of developing cancers such as mesothelioma, among
other lung diseases. bnsf lawsuit shatters into microscopic thin fibers which
can travel throughout the body, and lodge in the lungs. This can cause scarring
of the lungs called mesothelioma or asbestosis. It is a threatening disease that
affects the lung lining.

Railroad workers were often exposed to dangerous chemicals, such as benzene or
creosote. Despite the dangers railroad companies have shrugged off and dismissed
asbestos hazards for a long time. It could be because asbestos was profitable
and they hoped employees would not be able to demonstrate that their employers
were negligent.

Those who developed diseases or illnesses as a result of exposure on the job to
railroad materials should think about filing an FELA claim. Lymphoma lawsuit can
help injured employees and their families with medical expenses as well as other
financial losses.

A FELA lawyer will review your case and determine the full amount you might be
entitled to. Contact a seasoned railroad accident lawyer today to set up a free
consultation.
