Chemical Exposure Claims

NEW YORK CITY CHEMICAL EXPOSURE CLAIMS

Exposure to toxic chemicals or substances can bring about life-threatening injuries and illnesses, but many workers are unaware that they have been exposed to one or more of these chemicals until a much later time. A majority of toxic torts and chemical exposure can be directly traced back to the workplace, and there are certain industries that are notorious for placing workers at risk of chemical exposure. If you have been exposed to a toxic chemical at work, you may have grounds to file a toxic tort claim. Before you take action, however, you should know that these cases can be extremely difficult to litigate without the help of an experienced legal professional such as a New York City personal injury lawyer from our office.
