Whether on a construction site or office building, workers can be exposed to toxic chemicals each and every day. Frequent exposure to toxic chemicals, or substantial exposure all at once, can do substantial damage to an individual’s health. If your employer or your employer’s insurer refuses to provide you workers’ compensation or denies your claim, it is imperative to get legal services from a qualified lawyer.
At the Law Offices of Andrew B. Shin, we are committed to protecting your rights as a worker in Northern California. With more than 25 years of experience, our San Jose workers’ compensation attorney can review your case and determine all of your legal options in order to obtain the benefits you deserve.
It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that all employees are protected and all proper safety precautions have been taken when dangerous chemicals are used. Harmful exposure can happen through skin contact, breathing in fumes, or accidently swallowing a chemical. Exposure can either be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). The impact of the exposure might be immediate or may not occur until a period of time has passed.
No matter the circumstances surrounding your incident, you can rely on the Law Offices of Andrew B. Shin to help you obtain your entitled workers’ compensation. Do not hesitate to legal counsel necessary to make the best possible recovery from injury or illness.
