What Our Clients Say
Understanding Pesticide and Chemical Exposure Claims
Pesticide and chemical exposure can occur in a wide range of settings. Agricultural workers may come into contact with toxic herbicides or insecticides. Industrial employees may be exposed to solvents, cleaning agents, or chemical fumes. Construction workers may encounter hazardous materials like lead, asbestos, or improperly stored substances on job sites.
Exposure may happen through inhalation, direct skin contact, or contaminated air and surfaces. In many cases, the symptoms develop slowly, which makes these injuries harder to diagnose and legally complex to prove.
Common injuries and conditions related to chemical exposure include:
- Chronic respiratory illness
- Chemical burns and skin irritation
- Brain fog, memory loss, and neurological damage
- Fertility problems or birth defects
- Cancer is linked to long-term chemical contact
These injuries can take a serious toll on your health, your ability to work, and your quality of life. That is why it is important to work with a legal team that investigates thoroughly and helps you hold the right parties accountable.
Uncovering the Source of Chemical Exposure
After a construction accident, you might be told that workers’ compensation is your only option. That’s not always true.
Pesticide and chemical exposure cases often involve layers of complexity. The source of the exposure may not be immediately obvious, and victims may not experience symptoms until months or even years later. That delay can make it difficult to prove when and where the exposure occurred.
At Harris Law, we approach these cases by starting with the facts. We investigate job sites, review safety procedures, consult with environmental and medical professionals, and gather the documentation needed to show a clear connection between the exposure and the injury.
Whether the harm was caused by long-term exposure to herbicides in an agricultural setting or a single incident involving an industrial chemical, we are prepared to take a detailed and thorough approach. Our goal is to build a strong case that identifies who is responsible and secures compensation for your medical care, lost wages, and long-term recovery.
