Countertop Silicosis Claims in North Anaheim, California
Stone workers in North Anaheim who fabricated, cut, ground, or polished engineered stone countertops (Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, and others) may have developed silicosis — an irreversible, often progressive lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust. Engineered stone contains 90-95% crystalline silica, making it far more hazardous than natural stone.
Product liability lawsuits are being filed against stone manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who failed to warn workers about the silicosis risk. These claims are separate from workers' compensation and are available to all workers regardless of immigration status.
California Filing Deadline
- Statute of Limitations: 2 years
- Rule Type: Discovery rule applies
- California has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Critically, California was the FIRST state to ban engineered stone countertops (effective July 2024). California documented a cluster of silicosis cases among countertop fabricators in a 2019 MMWR study. The discovery rule applies — many workers may have only recently connected their lung disease to engineered stone exposure.
- Workers' Comp: California workers' compensation does not bar a separate product liability lawsuit against stone manufacturers. These are separate legal remedies.
