Occupational Diseases
Occupational diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma and leukemia
can be devastating to both the victim and their family. These diseases
contracted on the job can be caused by a number of factors, such as
the negligence or irresponsibility of the employer or a flaw in the
process or circumstance of production such as a failure to warn or even
a conspiracy to hide information on hazards.
It is important to remember that injured workers have rights. The government of the United States and the law of every state dictates that employers must take every reasonable precaution to limit the risk to their employees but, unfortunately, many employers attempt to make as few safety considerations as possible in order to maximize their profits.
Occupational diseases are perhaps some of the most tragic of all injuries. Workers who pour their lives into their jobs should not be rewarded for their efforts with disease, pain, suffering and death. When businesses put their profits ahead of their workers it is insulting to not only those injured and their families, but to every hardworking American that expects that their employers will not exploit their devotion and effort.
If you or someone you love is a victim of an occupational disease because an employer or a manufacturer put their profits ahead of worker safety, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your physical and emotional struggle. We are nationally recognized for our success in securing millions of dollars in compensation for Texas victims of occupational diseases.
