Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer which is mainly associated with asbestos exposure.  The cancer itself normally forms in the lining covering the lung called the pleura (pleural mesothelioma) or in the diaphragm (peritoneal mesothelioma).  When it comes to mesothelioma there is no known safe level of exposure to asbestos that will prevent a risk of this disease.  Railroad workers of all crafts are at risk for developing mesothelioma.  The Moody Law Firm, Inc. has represented mesothelioma victims across this country in the railroad industry from all crafts and all of the major railroads in the United States.  We have also handled claims on behalf of individuals in other industries who developed mesothelioma as well.  Successful handling of a mesothelioma claim requires special knowledge, experience and understanding of this disease.

Pharmaceuticals

Prescription drugs can have many serious side effects in addition to the medical benefits they provide.  Most pharmaceutical companies are multi-national corporations that make billions of dollars per year on the sale of prescription drugs distributed worldwide.  Some of the drugs they sell are placed on the market before all of the side effects of the drugs are fully understood or even when testing shows serious health risks associated with a particular drug.
Below is a list of just some of the products we are currently accepting cases for:

     

    Occupational Disease Division

    Each year American workers by the thousands are exposed to environmental conditions on the job that result in the development of varying occupational diseases. With the industrialization of America and the use of new chemical agents, these types of injuries have increased especially in the railroad industry. Most, if not all of these injuries, can be prevented by use of proper care by the railroad companies by warning employees, providing proper working conditions, providing proper protection, and the use of proper methods. Despite many years of knowledge on behalf of the railroad companies that the conditions they were exposing their workers to had the potential to cause serious and disabling occupational diseases, they have done nothing until recent years. As a result, workers have developed varying diseases and conditions from occupational exposure to these chemicals and conditions. Some of these diseases do not manifest themselves until many years after the original exposure. The railroads are responsible under the FELA for occupational diseases.
