A benzene attorney may be able to help you if you have a history of benzene exposure and have been diagnosed with any of the following illnesses:

 

• Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  
• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
  
• Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
  
• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
  
• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
  
• Myelodysplastic syndrome, also referred to as preleukemia

 

Prolonged exposure to benzene has been identified as a risk factor for developing these rare illnesses, and individuals who have been negligently exposed have a legal right to seek money damages. For instance, the benzene attorneys at Burke & Eisner have helped victims of toxic benzene exposure recover compensation for losses such as medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and more.

 

Should You Contact a Benzene Attorney?

There are many ways in which an individual can suffer benzene exposure. However, you should consider talking to a benzene attorney if you have worked in any of the following industries and have been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed above:

 

• Oil refineries
  
• Painting
  
• Printing
  
• Pesticide manufacturing
  
• Rubber/plastic workers
  
• Paper manufacturing
  
• Gasoline distribution

 

You should also consider contacting a benzene attorney if you have developed leukemia because of benzene-contaminated groundwater. These types of cases often affect those living in industrial areas near refineries, industrial waste disposal sites and large manufacturing operations.

 

Similarly, if you have lost a family member to a benzene-related illness, a benzene attorney can explain any legal rights you may have.
