Toxic Exposure at Work

About Toxic Exposure at Work

Toxic exposure at work happens when harmful chemicals, fumes, dust, or other dangerous substances cause illness over time, and symptoms may not appear until months or even years later. This delayed, latent onset can make such cases hard to trace to their source. In California, workers' compensation is generally the exclusive remedy against your own employer for an occupational illness. Even so, you may have a separate personal-injury claim if a negligent third party — such as the maker of a hazardous product or a chemical supplier — contributed to your exposure. To learn more, share a few details and connect with a California attorney.
