Additionally, some railroad workers are exposed to benzene through cleaning products such as Safety-Kleen and CRC.

A toxic chemical used as a wood preservative creosote is linked to various cancers including scrotal and skin cancer. Railroad workers who work on the maintenance and repair of railway ties are often exposed to this chemical. The National Toxicology Program has reported that those who handle creosote face a higher risk of developing lethal cancer than the general population.
A recent court case in which a Railroad Cancer Lawsuit Settlements employee filed suit after being diagnosed with myeloma, alleges the exposure to diesel exhaust and other environmental toxins caused the cancer. The judge decided that the plaintiff was aware of the possibility of dangers posed by his work in the railroad lawsuit settlements and could have found out about his injury by conducting a fairly thorough internet search at the time he was diagnosed.

Parker Waichman has also obtained defense verdicts in cases that involve other types of cancers, like prostate and lung cancer. These cases were filed by former railroad workers who claimed their cancers were resulted from a lifetime exposure to toxic chemicals at work. The firm is ready to analyze the facts of your case and explain your options.
Asbestos Exposure
Railroad employees can be exposed to asbestos during their job. This exposure often occurs when workers are handling railroad ties or repair or install railway equipment. Asbestos is known to cause mesothelioma, lung cancer and other cancers.
In a lawsuit filed against CSX Transportation, plaintiff Ronald K. Harris claims that he contracted multiple myeloma as a consequence from his work for railroad controls limited lawsuit the railroad. Harris as per the lawsuit worked daily for CSX Transportation in its Laredo railroad yard. He breathed "harmful and toxic chemicals, agents and fumes including, but not limited to diesel exhaust, welding fumes and creosote.
We successfully defended our client during the course of a two-week jury trial which it was claimed that repetitive bent, lifting and twisting during the course of work caused herniated lumbar disks and an indefinite disability of 25% that caused loss of earnings and suffering and pain. The railroad was not found to be negligent and the plaintiff received a minimal award.

In a recent instance, a railroad worker received $7.5 million from the jury after being diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia. He filed a lawsuit against two major railroads and claimed that their exposure to asbestos and diesel exhaust caused health issues.
The railroads filed an appeal for summary judgment in which they claimed that at the time of the plaintiff's diagnosis, he was aware of all the facts and causes of his injury. The court agreed and granted the railroads' motion concluding that the plaintiff failed to conduct a reasonable investigation into whether his condition was related to his railroad work.
In the courtroom, the plaintiff presented expert evidence from an industrial hygienist and epidemiologists. The expert witnesses said that Harris's myeloma is the result of his exposure diesel exhaust. The expert witness provided numerous studies to support this claim. These studies demonstrated a correlation between diesel exhaust and certain kinds of cancers. A reputable scientist, however, has ever concluded diesel exhaust is the source of multiple myeloma.
