Andrew L. Hughes

Attorney Andrew Hughes has over 17 years of experience in the fields of railroad, trucking and toxic torts. He has litigated and tried cases against the Midwest’s top toxic tort and transportation attorneys. Andrew focuses his drive on helping workers suffering from diseases such as cancer and leukemia following long term exposures to diesel exhaust. Andrew founded Chicago-based Hughes Law Offices LLC dba Diesel Injury Law. His firm fights for workers sickened by diesel exhaust while working in all occupations where prolonged exposure to diesel exhaust occurs, including the railroad, trucking, construction, mining, firefighting and maritime industries. Diesel exposed workers are often exposed to other toxins such as welding fumes, silica, asbestos, creosote and products that contain benzene. Diesel Injury Law takes all those exposures into account when consulting with experts and determining the causes of the illness at hand.
