By the time a person is diagnosed with silicosis or tuberculosis, they are often too ill to participate in their own case. In some cases, your loved one may have passed away before a lawsuit was brought and before they were able to testify on their own behalf.

If an individual is unable to testify, we work closely with family, friends and co-workers to establish the facts we need to successfully prosecute the case. We also have access to a vast array of resources to secure information about the products to which your loved one was exposed.

If the individual has died, we can file a claim through the administrator or the executor of the estate, and also on behalf of the victim's relatives.

If your family member (parent, spouse) has been diagnosed with a silica disease, or died from these illnesses, contact Belluck & Fox for an evaluation of your case.
