Chemical Exposures

Exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause severe health issues. Exposure occurs when people come into contact with a chemical, either directly or through another contaminated substance. Due to the prevalence of harmful chemicals in our everyday life, it's necessary to be aware of the risks, and symptoms of chemical exposure.

About Chemical Exposure 

Chemical exposure occurs when toxins of hazardous substances enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, injection, or contact with eyes or skin. Even limited exposure can result in conditions like: 

  • Skin irritation or burns 
  • Respiratory distress 
  • Organ damage 
  • Neurological effects 
  • Birth defects 
  • Cancer

Spills, airborne releases, tainted foods, negligence, ignorance, or weak regulations put countless Americans at risk every day. Those harmed often face massive medical costs and income losses. 

Injuries and Lasting Damages  

The effects of chemical exposure demand on factors like: 

  • Type and dose of the substance 
  • Length and frequency of exposure 
  • Genetics

Outcomes can range from mild, short-lived issues to severe disability or death. Costly medical treatment may continue for life, while lost income increases as victims can no longer work. Along with financial damages, pain, and emotional distress.

Legal options exist when negligence allows unsafe chemical contact. Compensation can cover all accident costs and help victims move forward.
