Workers’ Compensation: Toxic Chemical Exposure
When exposure on the job results in the development of a chronic ailment that prevents a person from working, that employee may be suffering from an occupational disease. Occupational diseases are covered by workers’ compensation benefits in both Illinois and Missouri. Insurance carriers may try to claim that the job could not have caused the occupational disease, but our workers’ compensation attorneys have the experience to prove how the disease was really contracted.
At Brown & Crouppen, our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers can help you understand your rights, discuss resources for medical treatment, and make a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. We have more than a quarter century of protecting workers like you.
Did you know? Our firm has recovered more than a billion dollars in personal injury verdicts and settlements. We will also look at any third-party liability claims during the process of workers’ compensation.
