The Illinois Central Railroad Company is being sued by Donald Hamilton, son of the late Raymond Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton’s lawsuit claims that his late father’s asbestosis was caused by asbestos exposure while working for the company.
The late Mr. Hamilton likely inhaled dangerous asbestos fibers and other carcinogenic materials while he was employed with the railroad company, which ultimately led to his diagnosis of asbestosis, a lung disease that is conclusively linked to previous asbestos exposure.
Raymond Hamilton died from the disease on November 9, 2005.
Mr. Hamilton further claims that his father experienced considerable physical pain while he was alive, as well as mental anguish and anxiety stemming from his disease.
