Chemical Exposure
Hazardous chemicals can be solids, liquids or gases,
seen or unseen. Very often chemical exposure occurs
where victims are not even aware of their proximity
to harmful substances. Only later do they start to
notice symptoms, and even then they may never know
that the cause of their illness was chemical exposure.
Industrial workers, for example, are prone to long-running,
low-level exposures to chemicals and toxins that
damage their bodies slowly over time.
Asbestos and benzene are two examples of the kinds
of invisible killers that many workers in construction,
factories, and other industrial careers face every
day. Some employers are aware of these dangers, and
some are not. Regardless, both can be held liable
in a court of law.
