With construction accidents and injuries on the rise, Florida is seeing an increasing problem for construction workers with toxic run-ins with chemicals that could injure, debilitate or even kill. This is not limited to construction workers – many industries, from small dry cleaners to major industrial and chemical manufacturers, are using more and more caustic and poisonous chemicals in their everyday efforts. The workers’ compensation attorney at The Law Firm of Kevin A. Moore is receiving ever-increasing calls for help in getting the workers’ compensation treatments and protection that workers are entitled to. If you have been injured or exposed to dangerous chemicals, please call a Florida toxic chemical exposure lawyer today.
The term “chemical exposure” is used to refer to contact with a variety of toxic or hazardous man-made substances. Many paints, cleaning products and on-the-job products contain dangerous chemicals that can damage the body when inhaled or touched. Unfortunately, many employers are either ignorant or cut corners when it comes to safety and education, properly storing dangerous chemicals, providing adequate training and/or failing to provide the proper protective equipment. The results are often workers suffering short-term injuries such as respiratory symptoms, forgetfulness or disorientation or even long-term consequences like illness, internal damage, cancer, birth defects, neurological injury and even death.
Chemical exposures can be tough to prove given the often unseen nature of many chemicals, and many employers will fight toxic exposure claims vigorously through their insurance companies, trying to make sure that injured workers don’t receive the treatments and funds they’re entitled to under Florida workers’ compensation laws. In such cases, The Law Firm of Kevin A. Moore recommends that workers suffering from chemical exposure get an experienced Florida toxic chemical exposure attorney to fight on their behalf. In addition, Kevin’s workers’ compensation law firm fully understands the mechanisms and dangers of chemical exposure; Kevin will help construct a legal strategy that gets you the compensation and medical help that you deserve.
Exposure to toxic chemicals can have both short- and long-term effects. Those most at risk from toxic chemical exposure are individuals who live or work near a facility that manufactures dangerous chemicals or individuals who actually work with dangerous chemicals. Frequent, long-term exposure to benzene, vinyl chloride and other chemicals has been known to cause cancer and other health ailments.
