Why We Created This Site
Silicosis is a serious, incurable lung disease caused by breathing in crystalline silica dust. Cases are rising dramatically among workers who cut and install artificial or engineered stone countertops. Many victims are diagnosed at younger ages than ever before. Silicosis.com brings together this important information so others do not have to search for it alone.
Silicosis Advocacy
Silicosis is preventable. Our team works to raise awareness of the risks of silica exposure, particularly in the artificial or engineered stone industry, and to hold companies accountable when they fail to protect workers. We support and advocate for people affected by silicosis and better access to information for workers and their families.
Our Medical & Research Team
Our work is supported by a medical research department led by a registered nurse. This team reviews current medical research and helps connect a person’s diagnosis to their work history.
If You Need Legal Help
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with silicosis, you may have legal options. Our attorneys offer free, confidential consultations with no obligation. If you choose to work with us, there is no fee unless we win your case.
