The Ohio benzene exposure lawyers at McDermott & Hickey, LLC, have successfully represented victims of benzene exposure. Benzene is an organic chemical compound valued by the industry for use as a cleaning solvent. It’s also a deadly carcinogen that causes several forms of cancer including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). AML is a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
Workers in the following industries are at an exceptionally high risk of benzene exposure:
If a worker is exposed to benzene on the job and this exposure causes him or her to develop AML or any other benzene-related disease then a claim can be brought under Ohio’s Workers’ Compensation laws. If successful, the worker can receive lost wage benefits and also medical coverage for the treatment of the occupational disease.
In some instances, a lawsuit can be brought against manufacturers and suppliers who fail to warn workers about the hazards of exposure to Benzene.
