In an instance that took place in Philadelphia County, we successfully defended a claim brought by one of the plaintiffs who claimed that he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia ("CML") due to the result of his occupational exposure to diesel exhaust and benzene in his time as an employee of the railroad. After a two-week long trial the jury returned with a defense verdict.

The client claimed that he needed medical supervision because he was worried about developing cancer. This is a valid claim in FELA.
