A New York Times investigation published this week details a growing crisis: workers who cut and polish engineered quartz countertops are developing silicosis, an irreversible and fatal lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust. Engineered stone can contain up to 95% silica, and there is no cure once the lungs are scarred. California alone has confirmed more than 500 cases and 29 deaths since 2019, and doctors expect the numbers to rise nationwide.
Now Congress is considering legislation that would shield quartz manufacturers from liability, cutting off legal options for injured workers.

If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to more than you realize. Under Illinois workers' compensation law, injured workers can receive payment of medical expenses, weekly benefits while unable to work, and compensation for permanent partial or total disability.

At Brian J. McManus & Associates, we have handled thousands of workers' compensation cases and we work aggressively to pursue the maximum compensation for every client. If you have been hurt at work, contact us today for a consultation.
