Q: My father died, who was a tunnel worker, from Black Lung Disease, can I file a lawsuit and if so against whom?
A: You may or may not have a case depending on when it happened, etc. Feel free to call me and I can give you names of attorneys that may be able to assist.
Glenn Neiman agrees with this answer
A: As Mr. Munsing indicated, we really cannot answer this question without more information. You really need to contact an attorney who is certified in workers' compensation law, whether my firm or another on this board. An attorney would have to know more about your father's work history, like what he was exposed to, when, for how long, etc.
