Answer 1

I am not familiar with black lung, I have heard of it and connect it to coal mining.

Do you have a list of all the medications your husband was taking for the treatment of his black lung disease? It has become common knowledge now that some anti-depressants can cause people to commit suicide.

Here is a site that states that yes, coal miners with black lung Do commit suicide: http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=6931674

Here is another site : http://www2.cdc.gov/chartbook/chap1/chartbook.htm

Here is a page of court cases "arising out of", "Two Doctor Rule" etc. You may want to peruse these various cases: http://www.hrva.com/pgwc/9697winwc.htm

These are just some areas you can use in your research. Hope they help. Good luck.

The law regarding pneumoconiosis varies according to the country you are in, which you do not state! Lawyers, however, are notorious for encouraging their clients to take legal action, even when they know that failure is likely, because they still get paid, win or lose. You could try going to yet another lawyer, explaining the situation and asking if the new law means pursuing it in court would just be a waste of time and money. If the newest lawyer is told he won't be getting the case, no matter what, he or she will have no reason to mislead you.

Answer 3

A good lawyer can get you anything.

However, you need to convince him that you have overwhelming and convincing evidence that your husband's mental problems were exacerbated by the black lung disease.

It is up to you to collect and assemble all of the evidence that you can related to the case before you embark on the chore of finding a competent lawyer.

If your evidence is good enough, he will certainly work on a contingency basis with a sixty-forty split.

Answer 4

Get a lawyer

Answer 5

You need a lawyer who will take your case based on him getting a percentage of your award, not on you paying him up front.
If he looks at your evidence and believes you have a strong case that he has a good chance of winning, he'd much rather take it "on consignment."

If you pay him up front, by the hour, then he cannot take any of your award.

You need to get some professional advice you can trust.
Good luck!

Answer 6
