Lung transplant is surgery to replace one or both diseased lungs with healthy lungs from a human donor, and the number of successful operations has increased dramatically over the years. Nearly 1,200 patients received lung transplants in 2004 and this number is expected to grow in 2006. There is an unfilled demand for lung transplants and many patients needing the procedure are unable to obtain it.
Lung transplants are considered a final option for patients of chronic lung disease. Ailments that may be treated with a lung transplant include black lung disease, also known as CWP. This medical condition develops over time, is progressive in nature, and incurable.
If you believe you may be a candidate for a lung transplant, it is important that you know the facts. Speak with your physician about your condition and the benefits a lung transplant may have for you. Additionally, you owe it to yourself and your family to contact an attorney to discuss the causes of your medical state.
Often, hard-working laborers, like coal miners, fall victim to lung disease because they used unsafe respirators that leaked harmful dust. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to obtain compensation from the respirator companies for your suffering and help secure a brighter future for your family.
