BENZENE EXPOSURE

Benzene ranks as one of the most common industrial chemicals, used in almost all types of chemical products. Benzene is a natural byproduct of forest fires and tobacco, and is one of the many chemical components of crude oil.

We are constantly exposed to benzene. It can be found in the air, on the ground, and dissolved in water. Benzene is highly carcinogenic, and chronic exposure to it can cause many types of blood-related cancers, the most common of which is leukemia. Benzene is also highly toxic to the central nervous system.

Similar to asbestos, the symptoms or benzene related illnesses takes time to manifest, often exhibiting symptoms when the illness is in its advanced or terminal stages. If anyone is to have a good chance of surviving benzene related illnesses, the best way is to have regular check ups in order to catch the illness in the very early stages, where the illness is still highly treatable.

CHEMICAL LITIGATION

Benzene litigation, alongside accutane litigation and asbestos litigation, has been successful in claiming damages in behalf of the people who have suffered from the chemical. Benzene litigation can help those who have been rendered ill because of the chemical by filing a liability suit. Benzene litigation can also be in the form of a wrongful death claim, in behalf of the relatives who have lost a loved one because of benzene.

While money cannot in any way make up for the pain of losing a loved one, receiving some form of monetary compensation can lessen the financial burden in terms of hospitalization and other prescribed treatments. If you are diagnosed with a terminal benzene related cancer, the damages or money you will receive through a successful benzene litigation can be used by your loved ones to start a new life after you have gone.
