Certain workers, especially those that work in the oil and refinery as well as trucking and transportation industries are more likely to be exposed to the after-effects of burning diesel. For over two decades, there have been numerous studies which have shown that diesel fumes can cause lung cancer and certain aggressive blood cancers such as leukemia. Diesel is formed after crude oil is highly refined, and it is the fuel of choice for the majority of vehicles in the world. Diesel fumes, it seems, are inescapable especially if you work in these professions, as well as if you live in an urban setting. That said, individuals who are occupationally exposed to diesel can limit their exposure by working with their companies to find ways in which to do the same. Diesel injury law is a part of personal injury law, and it helps you when it comes to recovering compensation in terms of money damages so you can be made whole again, and we’re here to help with that.
