8. If I Don't Remember How I was Exposed to Silica, What Can I do?

There are many people who suffer from silicosis but can not recall how or where they were exposed to silica. In fact, even your doctor may not be entirely familiar with the wide range of exposures to silica. This is especially true because silica diseases are latent -- it can take years for the symptoms and injuries caused by silica to appear.

At Belluck & Fox, we devote a substantial amount of time to reviewing your work and life history to identify possible exposures to silica. In many instances, a person may not be aware that certain products contained silica. In addition, we are familiar with the use and presence of silica at many work sites and factories, including powerhouses, shipyards, schools and large buildings. We can find the witnesses and documents that will help establish your exposure to silica.

Belluck & Fox spends hours researching and investigating each silica case. We also use our substantial experience to help us investigate how you were exposed to silica and the companies responsible for your exposure. Our inventory of cases is limited to clients with serious injuries and we devote significant time and resources to each case.
