Countertop Silicosis Claims in Spartanburg Hills, South Carolina

Stone workers in Spartanburg 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.

South Carolina Filing Deadline

  • Statute of Limitations: 3 years
  • Rule Type: Discovery rule applies
  • South Carolina has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule applies.
  • Workers' Comp: South Carolina workers' compensation does not bar a product liability claim against stone manufacturers.
