Types of Toxic Exposure Claims

It is disheartening to hear that many workers end up disabled. It is even more disheartening to hear that these workers did not know until later that it was due to toxic exposure to chemicals at work.

Some of the most common toxic chemicals in work environments include:

  • Asbestos
  • Benzene
  • Vinyl Chloride
  • Manganese
  • Mercury
  • Certain Welding Materials
  • Production of Plastic

Asbestos Exposure

The most common toxic exposure cases that we hear of involve asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a toxin that can lead to mesothelioma which can be a fatal and debilitating lung condition.

Are you in the welding industry?

People who are in the welding profession are at the highest risk of toxic chemical exposure. Welders deal with piping, metals and glass all day and throughout the course of their work they can be exposed to manganese fumes and other harmful toxins. Many welders end up being diagnosed with brain damage, Parkinson's disease, or the common welder's syndrome. This syndrome is where the individual experiences problems with speech, balance, body tremors, and depression.

Unfortunately many of the conditions and health conditions caused by prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals are permanent.

Exposed workers can develop any of the following:

  • Damage to the Eyes or Blindness
  • Damage to the Lungs
  • Damage to the Organs
  • Scarring of the Skin
  • Damage to the Reproductive System
  • Brain Damage
  • Cancer
