Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, commonly known as COPD, is a lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe and is caused by damage to the lungs over the years. COPD develops slowly over time, and sometimes symptoms do not arise until years after exposure. COPD is a serious disease that can lead to disability or death. Currently, there is no cure for COPD. However, those with COPD can often relieve symptoms by not smoking and taking prescribed medication. Unfortunately, it is far from uncommon for railroad workers to develop COPD, and if you are one of them, there is a very strong chance that you will qualify for financial compensation, and our legal team is here to help you get it. Please do not hesitate to contact a dedicated railroad COPD lawyer from Doran & Murphy for assistance today.
