Getting Compensation for Chemical Exposure in the Workplace

According to OSHA and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 32 million U.S. workers are potentially exposed to one or more chemical hazards. About 860,000 become ill from occupational exposure each year and approximately 60,000 people die. These startling numbers show just how serious a danger chemical exposure is to workers. Sometimes just a single exposure to a toxic chemical can cause injury and illness, while in other cases, workers become sick after long-term exposure.

When you’ve been exposed and become ill, you deserve compensation that will pay for the medical care you need, for your lost wages, and for other losses. If your employer carries workers’ comp insurance, you can file a claim to get medical benefits and partial wage benefits. But this insurance only pays a portion of weekly wages and doesn’t pay for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Serious illness from chemicals is very expensive and can change your entire life. You could need long-term medical and nursing care. You could also need assistance just to complete the routine tasks of everyday life, depending on your injuries.

No matter what industry you work in—whether construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, gardening, or another job that has a high risk of chemical exposure—Waldman Legal wants to talk to you.

Getting Help for Chemical Exposure in the Environment

Workers are not the only people at risk of illness from chemical exposure. Dangerous chemicals are present everywhere in everyday life. Here are some of the ways people are exposed to hazardous chemicals in their own neighborhoods:

  • From drinking, bathing, or swimming in contaminated water
  • By breathing chemical toxins in the air
  • By ingesting, breathing, or having skin contact with contaminated soil and dust
  • When they eat food or drink beverages that have been exposed to toxic chemicals.

If you live near a toxic waste dumping site or a negligent factory that allows toxins to be released into the environment, you could become ill from chemical exposure. If you have an older home that was built using lead paint or asbestos, you could be exposed. People who garden regularly or farm large acreages and use herbicides could experience serious illnesses. These are just some examples.

If you believe your cancer, lung disease, skin rash, or other illness was caused by chemical exposure, contact our experienced Houston-based legal team for help. We’ll examine the circumstances of your case and advise you as to whether you may have a legal claim. Waldman Legal Group provides free, no-obligation consultations.

  • Chemical manufacturers
  • Workplaces that don’t follow proper safety guidelines in using chemicals
  • Factories that negligently allow toxic chemicals to leak into the environment
  • Companies that intentionally dump chemicals into waterways and elsewhere
  • Landlords that don’t advise renters about environmental hazards such as lead-based paint and others on their properties.
