Silicosis

The law firm of Belluck & Fox represents individuals who suffer from silicosis and other diseases caused by the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica or sand. Many workers in the foundry, steel, grinding, sandblasting, welding, construction, brick, and stone industries have been exposed to high levels of silica. Breathing silica may cause silicosis (a disabling and permanent condition of the lung), tuberculosis and even lung cancer.

New York has many plants, shipyards, factories, powerhouses, and construction sites where silica was used. Our attorneys are familiar with these jobsites, and will work closely with you and your family to identify responsible parties and obtain compensation for your injuries.

If you or your family member have been diagnosed with silicosis, contact us or call toll-free at 1-877-MESOTHELIOMA (637-6843) to have your case evaluated immediately. We will arrange to visit you or your family in your home. With offices in New York City and Syracuse, Belluck & Fox represents injured workers and their families throughout New York State, including Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Syracuse, Watertown, Ticonderoga, Woodstock, Massena, Rome, Utica, Binghamton, Elmira and Jamestown.

Even if you do not recall the precise nature of your exposure to silica or the names of the products to which you were exposed, we use our extensive knowledge of work sites and products to investigate and prosecute your claim. Victims of silicosis and their families should carefully select attorneys who are experienced in respiratory disease litigation. Further, you should hire attorneys who will fully investigate your claim and provide you with individual representation. Belluck & Fox provides fast, professional and personalized legal representation. We will only represent you if we believe that there is a reasonable chance of a successful outcome for you and your family.
