Brayton Purcell LLP Launches Second Season of Silicosis Podcast

The premiere episode of the series shifts the focus from regulatory hearings to the courtroom. Host James Nevin and attorney Liliana Carbone dissect the landmark Martinez Paredes wrongful death trial, analyzing how scientific evidence and testimony regarding product design and failure to warn influenced the jury’s decision. This discussion marks a transition for the podcast, moving beyond the medical and public health data established in the first season toward the mechanics of corporate accountability.

While the first season documented the rise of accelerated silicosis among workers cutting artificial stone, the new episodes examine how these findings hold up under legal scrutiny. The series continues to track the physical and financial consequences for families whose livelihoods were tied to the fabrication of surfaces for homes and businesses. Future installments will follow emerging research and ongoing litigation as the firm continues its efforts to address the health crisis across the United States.
