Benzene Exposure
Benzene, a colorless toxic gas, can cause cancer when exposed for long periods of time. It is produced naturally in the environment, as well as by gas emissions and smoking tobacco. The skin can also absorb benzene. Railroad workers who developed cancer due to exposure to benzene might be able to receive monetary compensation from their employer.
In one case, the widow of a railroad employee who died was awarded $1,000,000 by the company that employed her husband. Her late husband was a pumpman on various tankers in the 1970s and 1980s. He was regularly exposed to toxic benzene. After he died from acute myeloid leukemia in 1995 his wife filed a claim for wrongful death against the vessel's owner.
Acute myeloid Leukemia is a cancer that is fast-moving and can be fatal in one or two months if treated immediately. It is typically treated with chemotherapy, but in certain cases radiation or targeted therapy are also possible.
We obtained defense verdicts for Railroad Cancer Settlements a class 1 railroad in two cases where plaintiffs claimed to have suffered injury to their brains due to solvent-induced exposure over their 23-year tenure on the railroads. The defense provided expert evidence on medical causation and industrial hygiene and the jury concluded that the workplace of the Railroad Cancer Settlements was reasonably safe.
Creosote Exposure
It is a mix composed of hundreds of chemicals that are used to preserve wood, such as railroad ties. It contains a number of carcinogens known to exist which include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The PAHs in creosote can be taken up through the skin, and are ingested through drinking water that is contaminated with the chemical. PAHs can be absorbed into lungs, where they could cause lung cancer.
Inhalation exposure to creosote can cause a range of symptoms, including respiratory irritation, eye problems nausea and vomiting. It can cause skin burns in the third and second degrees. The coal tar creosote chemical is made up of PAH compounds including naphthalene and other carcinogenic substances like acenaphthene.
Creosote exposure could affect the health of the workers and their families and families. Certain workers have developed papular base carcinomas (common occupational skin cancers) which can expand to different areas of the body. Some workers have also suffered from chronic lung disease, esophageal and liver fibrosis and chronic bronchitis.
In many cases, the railroad industry isn't able to adequately inform employees on the dangers of prolonged exposure to toxic substances. For instance, it's not unusual for railroad workers to leave diesel-powered engines, forklifts and cranes running during their work. The engines generate a lot of diesel exhaust that can be ingested and inhaled through the lung. They also soak rags in benzene-based solvents to clean machines and tools.
Workers' Compensation
Railroad workers who have been diagnosed with cancer or a chronic illness resulting from exposure to toxic chemicals such as benzene and creosote may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses and other damages. A New York railroad cancer lawyer could assist those seeking claims under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) for damages in the form of money.
Many illnesses related to occupational exposure to carcinogenic chemicals like asbestos and diesel fumes don't manifest until a person is older. In the majority of cases, statutes of limitations only last three years following the first diagnosis. It is therefore important that potential victims speak with an attorney who handles railroad injuries promptly after being diagnosed.
In a recent case, Napoli Shkolnik PLLC was able to successfully defend a lawsuit brought against our client by an ex-railroad employee who had been diagnosed with leukemia after a long period of exposure to toxic chemicals. The plaintiff claimed that the company violated FELA by failing to properly train their employees and equip them with the appropriate safety equipment.
The jury awarded the plaintiff damages of $7.5 million after determining that the cancer was directly related to his work at the Chicago & North Western Railroad. The man was exposed by the company to benzene and other toxic chemicals such as creosote, benzene, and degreasing agents.
FELA
If a former railway worker is diagnosed with cancer as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals at work, they may file a claim under the Federal Employers Liability Act, or FELA. In contrast to workers' comp laws which offer victims medical expenses and some loss of wages, FELA is a fault-based statute that requires proof that the railroad's employer failed to protect its workers from the dangers of chemical exposures.
Railroad companies typically fight FELA lawsuits that concern occupational diseases. Their defense lawyers often argue that the former employee cannot identify specific instances of unhealthy exposures. They also point to the lack of official test results that indicate the presence of toxic substances or carcinogens in equipment or components manufactured and used by the railway company.
If you win a FELA claim, the victim's family members can be compensated for past and future suffering and loss of enjoyment life, mental distress and other damages. If the victim dies as a result of their injuries or other causes, a wrongful-death claim can be filed to collect compensation for the deceased person's family members.
