Burn, Electrocution and Chemical Exposure
Chemical exposure results from contact with a substance considered to be toxic. This can occur at work or at home. Those who work in chemical and plastic manufacturing, mining, refineries, asbestos or pesticides are often at risk.
Home risks include cleaning products, pesticides, paints, or living near chemical plants, refineries or gas stations. A few of the effects of short-term exposure include dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, nausea and rashes. Long-term exposure can cause chronic or fatal diseases, including cancer, birth defects or neurological damage. Many of these side effects and illnesses can take years to develop.
State and federal laws make it the responsibility of manufacturers and companies to provide everyone with safe products and a safe working environment. Should injuries occur, compensation might include clean-up of the chemical substance, medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.
