When I am driving behind a bus and smell that awful diesel smell I shut the windows, closed the vents and hold my nose.
But, you might not realize it those fumes can kill
For the fist time, a widow of a transit worker rightfully recovered widow benefits in a New York Workers Compensation Claim. This is the only legal forum where such a claim has been found payable under the law — the worker died from cancer related to exposure to such fumes.

If you are concerned about the affects of diesel fumes on your health, speak to your doctor and contact a qualified Workers’ Compensation lawyer in New York. You can also request our free book on navigating Workers’ Compensation claims here.
