Black Lung: The Price of Powering America

Coal miners have long been America's backbone, — the gritty, hard-working laborers who built this great country with sweat and sacrifice. For generations, these brave men and women have descended into the depths of the earth, risking their lives to keep our nation's lights on and our economy thriving. But this noble work has come at a terrible cost: black lung disease.

  • Nearly 1,000 former coal miners with black lung have filed lawsuits against dust mask and respirator manufacturers, alleging that this equipment was defective and did not protect them from inhaling coal dust.
  • These lawsuits claim that manufacturers put profits over miners' safety, selling defective safety gear that did not comply with safety standards and falsely claiming they provided sufficient protection.
  • Successful lawsuits have already been won, with juries awarding millions of dollars to coal miners who developed black lung due to defective dust masks and respirators.

    • "Coal miners have been the unsung heroes of America, toiling in the depths to keep our nation running. We're committed to fighting for the justice and compensation they and their families deserve."

The Many Faces of Black Lung

  • Silicosis
  • Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF)
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • Lung Cancer

The symptoms of these conditions can be severe and life-altering, from chronic cough and shortness of breath to fatigue, weight loss, and respiratory failure. Treating black lung and related diseases often requires lifelong care, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in oxygen therapy, medication, and potential lung transplants.

"No one should have to trade their health for a paycheck. We stand with coal miners and their families in their battle against black lung, and we won't rest until they receive the support they need and the respect they've earned."

Rod De Llano, Partner at Danziger & De Llano

Fighting for the American Coal Miner

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with black lung or any other coal dust-related lung disease, you may be entitled to significant compensation from respirator and dust mask manufacturers. This is separate from and in addition to any benefits you may be receiving from the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund.

  • Lawsuits against these equipment manufacturers aim to hold these companies accountable for the harm caused by their defective products and their failure to protect miners' health.
  • Compensation from these lawsuits can provide additional support for medical expenses, lost income, and the pain and suffering caused by black lung disease.
  • At Danziger & De Llano, we're committed to fighting for the rights of coal miners and their families, and to securing the justice and compensation they deserve from negligent equipment manufacturers.

You've already sacrificed so much to power America. You should not have to bear the burden of black lung disease due to defective equipment.

Contact us now for a free consultation. Let us fight to hold dust mask manufacturers accountable and to secure the compensation you deserve. Your fight is our fight, and together, we can seek justice for the hardworking miners of America.
