During the time you worked for your employer, you trusted the company to guarantee your safety and health. You never expected to be exposed to dangerous toxins that could rob you of not only your health but also your ability to work and support your family.
When you have been diagnosed with an illness caused by the conditions you worked in all of these years, you may wonder if you have any legal recourse to pursue as a victim. By hiring a diesel exhaust poisoning lawyer, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit against your employer and pursue justice and compensation you are entitled to under state law.
It may never have occurred to you during the time you were working that you would ever need to hire a diesel exhaust poisoning lawyer. You may not have appreciated the dangers that diesel fuel could pose to your health. You thought perhaps you might suffer minimal and unnoticeable damages to your health like losing some of your sense of smell or perhaps developing a slight cough.
In fact, working around this toxin can cause more significant health damages and possibly even cause premature death. When you have been diagnosed with a diesel-related illness, it may only be reasonable for you to expect your employer to pay for some or all of your medical bills. You also may want your employer to pay for lost income during the time you are seeking medical treatment.
Convincing your employer of its responsibility to you as an injured worker can be challenging, however. Many companies will not willingly admit their guilt. They must be persuaded through legal action including the filing of lawsuits and out-of-court settlements. When you have a skilled attorney working for you, you can take either action to claim your rightful compensation.
