In most cases if an employee becomes ill due to some type of contamination or compound used in the workplace, he or she will be eligible for workers compensation. Often these cases are challenging to prove and an attorney with experience in these types of cases is essential.
Worker compensation claims can be tricky, especially if your injuries are covered by worker's compensation insurance. Some, however, might not be, or your insurance company may be unwilling to pay for them. If that's the case, and you feel you deserve compensation, don't let them cheat you. Find a lawyer and see if they can help.
