It does not matter whether the accident was your fault. If you are hurt at work, then you may be entitled to workers comp benefits for your medical bills and lost wages. Our Columbus workplace accident attorneys can also help determine if a party other than you employer may be held responsible for your pain and suffering. If that is the case, we can discuss a third party lawsuit.

WHAT IS AN OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE?

An occupational disease is a chronic ailment that occurs because of your work or occupational activity. Work related exposure to dangerous substances can cause occupational diseases. Occupational diseases include:

 

  • Poisoning because of exposure to dangerous substances like anthrax, lead, mercury, phosphorous, gasoline, benzol, carbon dioxide, brass, manganese dioxide, zinc, wood alcohol, potassium cyanide, sulfur dioxide and radium

  • Glanders

  • Skin infection or inflammation from oils, cutting compounds or lubricants, dust, liquids, fumes, gases or vapors

These diseases can threaten your health and your financial security. If you are injured at workplace or have a job-related illness, then contact a Columbus workers compensation lawyer at Larrimer & Larrimer, LLC.
