Black Lung Disease Lawyers

Black lung disease is an all too common condition that occurs when coal miners breathe air saturated with coal dust. Inhaling too much coal dust over a period of time can lead to the fine particles scaring delicate lung tissue, which in turn makes breathing extremely difficult and painful.

To prevent black lung disease coal miners wear elaborate respirators that attempt to filter out the disease-causing material. Unfortunately, if these respirators fail, miners have little indication of any problem until years afterwards, when the first symptoms of black lung disease begin to appear. This condition is so dangerous and so common that miners in western Kentucky filed suit against five major manufacturers due to faulty respirators that lead to black lung and silicosis.
