Workers in refineries, foundries, mines, and other industrial settings exposed to silica dust, diesel exhaust, and other airborne hazards have filed claims linking that exposure to lung cancer. If that's your story, and it isn't related to asbestos exposure specifically, you may still be entitled to compensation.

Beyond asbestos, a range of industrial exposures — silica dust, diesel exhaust, certain industrial chemicals — have been linked by researchers to an increased risk of lung cancer among long-term workers in affected industries.
People with a long history of occupational exposure to these hazards, who were later diagnosed with lung cancer, may have a claim against the companies responsible for the materials or working conditions involved.
Past and ongoing treatment related to your diagnosis.
Time away from work during treatment or recovery.
The physical and emotional impact of your diagnosis.
No — this covers other occupational exposures linked to lung cancer. If your exposure was specifically to asbestos, our mesothelioma page may be more relevant, and a network attorney can advise either way.
A smoking history doesn't automatically rule out a claim. A network attorney can assess how your occupational exposure factors into your case.
