Silicosis is a severe lung condition that causes irreversible scarring of lung tissue from inhalation of silica dust. It is a severe, incurable, often fatal disease that can lead to permanent respiratory impairment and total disability.
When silica dust is inhaled, it can cause irreversible scarring of lung tissue, and while the lungs can expel small amounts of respirable crystalline silica, heavy or prolonged exposure results in the accumulation of microscopic silica particles, causing permanent damage.
Individuals who worked in stone manufacturing facilities and are now struggling with severe, debilitating silicosis can qualify for disability benefits or total and permanent disability claims.
If you or a family member worked with natural stones with high respirable crystalline silica concentration at work, and are diagnosed with silicosis, we encourage you to contact us.
