Countertop Silicosis Claims in Port St. Lucie Hills, Florida
Stone workers in Port St. Lucie Hills 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.
Florida Filing Deadline
- Statute of Limitations: 4 years
- Rule Type: Discovery rule applies
- Florida has a 4-year statute of limitations for product liability claims — one of the longer windows nationally. Florida has a large countertop fabrication industry, particularly in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Orlando metro areas with significant Hispanic/Latino workforce populations. The discovery rule applies.
- Workers' Comp: Florida workers' compensation does not bar a separate product liability lawsuit against stone manufacturers. Workers' comp and tort claims are separate legal remedies.
