Chemical Related Cancers Or Diseases

Experience Handling Complex Chemical Exposure Claims

Our chemical exposure lawyers have decades of experience handling complex cancer and disease claims related to workplace and occupational chemical exposure. These claims may be pursued through workers’ compensation, civil claims against manufacturers or distributors of dangerous chemical products, or both.

Establishing the connection between a harmful chemical or toxic substance and a cancer or disease often requires extensive investigation, medical evidence, and specialized legal knowledge. Wallace & Graham has handled complex chemical exposure and occupational disease cases for over 40 years of practice.

Our attorneys have experience handling claims involving serious illnesses associated with workplace and environmental exposures. These cases may involve cancers, respiratory diseases, and other chronic conditions linked to toxic chemicals, silica dust, and other hazardous substances.

More recently, our firm has begun evaluating claims involving stone countertop workers who have developed silicosis, lung cancer, and other serious lung diseases following exposure to respirable crystalline silica. Workers who cut, grind, polish, or fabricate engineered stone, artificial stone, and quartz countertops may be exposed to high concentrations of silica dust, which has been associated with serious occupational lung disease.

Proving a link between a specific chemical exposure and a disease can be a challenge. Unlike an injury, these diseases often have a long latency period, sometimes decades, between exposure and diagnosis.

Our chemical exposure lawyers have legal knowledge and a network of experts to meticulously build a case by tracing a client’s work history and connecting it to their illness.

We are committed to holding manufacturers and distributors of dangerous products accountable and ensuring our clients receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
