McAllen Personal Injury Lawyer / McAllen Chemical Exposure Lawyers
Chemical and toxic exposure is a particularly insidious form of workplace injury, occurring when workers come into contact with chemicals like trichloretheylene, perchlorethylene, poly vinyl chlorides, arsenic, cadmium and other heavy metals used in workplace environments. Diseases like mesothelioma (resulting from asbestos exposure), acute myeloid leukemia, lead poisoning, cancer and many others can result from prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals.

Common toxic chemicals workers can be exposed to:

Asbestos One of the most well-known hazardous chemicals. Mesothelioma-related litigation is the single largest class-action lawsuit in American history Benzene Chemical and toxic exposure is linked to acute myeloid leukemia, immunodeficiency, reproductive problems and many other health complications Lead While it can be particularly devastating to infants and toddlers, lead poisoning can affect someone of any age, leading to developmental disabilities and other neurological problems Manganese Exposure to manganese can lead to a condition called ‘manganism,’ which is similar in many aspects to Parkinson’s disease, with exposure often resulting from activities like welding, smelting or other metalworking processes
