Many lung cancer diagnoses are tied to occupational exposures — asbestos, diesel exhaust, silica, radon, chromium, and other carcinogens. ELG investigates exposure history through employment records, military records, and product identification to build claims against responsible manufacturers and employers. We hold the largest asbestos lung cancer judgment in Louisiana’s history.
