After spending your entire career working for the same employer, you might experience intense disappointment to learn that this employer failed to take the best care of you and other employees. You may only find out this information, however, after your doctor diagnoses you with a deadly or chronic illness stemming from your lifelong career.
At that point, you may want to take legal action against the company for which you worked. You can pursue action like a railroad leukemia settlement when you retain a legal team to assist you.
Filing a Lawsuit
Part of pursuing this type of action may involve filing a lawsuit against the company for which you worked. If you try to file a claim against the company’s insurer, you may meet a proverbial brick wall. Your employer may refuse to give you that information and argue that you actually caused your own illness.
However, your lawyer can file a lawsuit against the employer if your company refuses to hand over insurance information. This lawsuit can pursue the employer or the insurer to offer you a settlement to close out the case faster. You may then get the funds you need to support you and your family, pay medical bills, and otherwise focus on your recovery.
