Lung Cancer Lawsuit

You May Be Eligible for Compensation

If You or a Loved One Has Been Diagnosed with Lung Cancer, You May Qualify for a Legal Claim

Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers, affecting thousands of individuals each year. While smoking is a well-known risk factor, many cases of lung cancer are linked to exposure to hazardous substances such as asbestos, radon gas, and toxic chemicals. These exposures often occur in workplaces, homes, and public environments without individuals realizing the long-term health risks.

At Injury Claim Center, we help individuals and families understand their legal rights and explore compensation options if their lung cancer was caused by exposure to harmful substances.

Lung Cancer and Exposure to Hazardous Substances
Asbestos Exposure and Lung Cancer

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing. While its use has been heavily restricted, older buildings and products still contain asbestos, posing a serious health risk. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can become lodged in the lungs, causing inflammation, scarring, and, in some cases, leading to lung cancer or mesothelioma.

Common workplaces with asbestos exposure include:

  • Construction sites (roofing, insulation, plumbing)
  • Shipyards
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Automotive repair shops
  • Power plants
Radon Gas and Lung Cancer

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, making it difficult to detect without proper testing. Long-term exposure to radon increases the risk of lung cancer, and it is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking.

Radon exposure commonly occurs in:

  • Homes and buildings with poor ventilation
  • Underground mines
  • Areas with high natural uranium deposits
Other Toxic Substances Linked to Lung Cancer

Beyond asbestos and radon, other workplace and environmental toxins have been linked to lung cancer, including:

  • Silica dust – Found in construction, mining, and manufacturing industries
  • Diesel exhaust – Exposure is common among truck drivers, miners, and railroad workers
  • Arsenic, cadmium, and chromium – Found in industrial workplaces and certain contaminated drinking water supplies

Who May Be at Risk?

You may be at higher risk of developing lung cancer from toxic exposure if you:

  • Worked in construction, manufacturing, mining, or military service
  • Lived in a home or worked in a building with asbestos insulation or high radon levels
  • Were exposed to chemical fumes, industrial dust, or secondhand smoke over long periods
  • Have a family history of lung cancer combined with environmental exposures

Even former smokers may be eligible for compensation if exposure to hazardous materials played a role in their diagnosis.

Signs and Symptoms of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer symptoms often do not appear until the disease has progressed, making early detection difficult. Some warning signs include:

  • Persistent coughing that worsens over time
  • Shortness of breath or wheezing
  • Chest pain that may worsen with deep breathing or coughing
  • Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Coughing up blood or rust-colored phlegm

If you or a loved one has experienced these symptoms and have a history of toxic exposure, it is important to seek medical attention and explore your legal options.
