Toxic Substance Exposure Can Mean a Serious Health Problem

Inhaling toxic fumes or coming in contact with poisonous chemicals can lead to a lifetime of respiratory problems and organ damage. Symptoms of exposure to toxic substances are not always immediate, and the body might take years to react. It is not uncommon for people who work with hazardous materials to develop respiratory problems months or years after an unsafe exposure.

An Injury From Toxic Substance Exposure Means You Deserve Workers' Comp
If you were exposed to a toxic environment on your job and have developed a health problem that has put you out of work, you are entitled to recover medical coverage and lost earnings through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). Proving your claim is often difficult, as you must demonstrate a direct connection between the exposure to the toxic substance, your injury and your inability to work because of it. Having an experienced workers' compensation attorney prepare your case can make a significant difference in whether you are successful.

People usually think of asbestos and other hazardous materials leading to respiratory problems and cancer. But exposure to chemical fumes from everyday substances like office cleaning supplies can lead to chemical burns, organ damage and even brain injury.

Exposure to toxic chemicals can occur by:
  • Inhalation
  • Injection
  • Dermal absorption
  • Ingestion
