Silicosis Litigation

Shannon Law Firm is currently handling lawsuits on behalf of individuals suffering from silicosis, the oldest known occupational disease. Silicosis is an occupational lung disease caused by exposure to free silica.  Silica may cause other diseases such as lung cancer, bronchitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.  Silica is the second most common mineral on earth and is found in sand and most rock.  Sandblasters, construction workers, and rock cutters are most often affected by silicosis. There is no known cure for silicosis, but the disease is preventable if adequate precautions are observed and if the worker has been made aware of the risks involved with exposure to free silica.

We do not charge an attorney fee for personally consulting with you about your injury case. Many people do not have the money to hire a personal injury lawyer to protect their rights. That's the reason we cover all expenses until the end of a case and then we are paid a portion of the funds recovered. If we are unable to recover compensation for you, you do not owe us a fee. This is called a "contingency fee" arrangement and is common among Mississippi personal injury attorneys.
