When you took a job with the local train company, you realized that you would assume a certain amount of risk to your health and safety. However, you also expected that your employer would take measures to protect you. You never expected to be exposed purposely to materials that could kill you.
When you find that you have breathed in and been exposed to materials that gave you cancer or Mesothelioma, you have the right to take action against your employer. Your first action can be to hire an experienced lawyer to file and pursue a railroad asbestos case on your behalf.
Showing Liability for Your Sickness
When you have a knowledgeable attorney on retainer, you can show that the company that you worked for bears the liability for your illness. Your lawyer can advise you on what doctors to visit and what tests to undergo to show the extent of your sickness. He or she can also have the doctors testify about what caused the illness when it first began to affect your health and what kind of prognosis that you have.
This information can be enough to compel the court to award a judgment against your employer. It can also be sufficient to convince your employer to settle out of court with you.
