Seeking Workers’ Comp Benefits for Your Injuries
Occupational diseases are injuries and illnesses derived from working conditions.

compensation. However, if a negligent third party – such as a chemical
manufacturer – is also liable, the employee may file a separate
personal injury lawsuit for additional monetary damages.
The following are common toxic substances which can harm workers:
- Asbestos

- Pesticides

- Acids

Inhaling fumes, skin contact with strong chemicals, or accidentally swallowing
a harmful substance cause result in several illnesses, which can be life-threatening.

burns, rashes, brain damage, and neurological complications.
