If you have been possibly exposed to toxic substances in the workplace, and have received a diagnosis from a medical care provider, please look into filing a workers’ compensation claim. Occupational disease claims are time-sensitive and heavily dependent upon the precise circumstances of your exposure and date of diagnosis. To determine if you potentially qualify for workers’ compensation benefits on account of your diagnosis, please consult our office immediately.

​

Occupational diseases can be permanently debilitating, and can effectively prohibit you from fulfilling your work duties and maintaining the quality of life you enjoyed prior to exposure. They can also lie dormant for a number of years before you eventually experience symptoms. It is critical that you contact a care provider and an attorney alike if you believe the symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a previous work exposure. You should not have to bear the burden of the cost of treatment, nor should you expect to go without payment in the event the disease prohibits you from working. Please feel free to contact our office for additional information.
