Illinois Asbestos and Benzene Exposure Attorneys
Exposure to chemicals and toxins can lead to very serious medical conditions. One of the most common examples is mesothelioma, which is one of several lung conditions that can be caused by exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma cases provide an example of what makes toxic exposure cases so complicated: the medical condition often does not reveal itself until years after the exposure to the toxin has taken place.
At the Southern Illinois law firm of Short & Smith, P.C., we bring decades of experience to defective product cases. We know how to overcome the complications that come along with these cases, striving to get you the compensation you need.
Chemical Exposure in the Workplace
Depending on the situation, workers' compensation may be one form of relief in cases involving chemical exposure in the workplace. However, this may not be the only form of compensation available. In cases involving asbestos exposure and mesothelioma, as well as cases involving benzene exposure and the conditions it causes, such as leukemia, we may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the manufacturer of the chemical.
Chemical Exposure Outside the Workplace
People can become exposed to toxic chemicals in a variety of ways outside of the workplace. When a chemical is provided to consumers without adequate warning of the potential for serious illness, the manufacturer can be held accountable. No matter how you have been exposed to chemicals and no matter what medical condition you have been diagnosed with, you can turn to our lawyers for experienced representation.
