We Represent Steelworkers Diagnosed With

Laryngeal Cancer

Toxic exposures from the workplace may be responsible for some of the cancers that steelworkers could have possibly developed. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with laryngeal cancer and worked as a steelworker, contact our experienced steelworker attorneys today.

Laryngeal Cancer Risk Among Steelworkers 

Steelworkers are at increased risk of bladder cancer due to exposure to industrial chemicals, coal tar, and other carcinogens found in steel production. Key risk factors include exposure to substances such as benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and aromatic amines, all of which are linked to bladder cancer. These chemicals can accumulate in the bladder over time, contributing to the disease. Bladder cancer often has subtle symptoms like blood in the urine and frequent urination, which may not become apparent until the cancer is advanced, complicating early diagnosis.

To reduce this risk, steel industry employers should implement effective safety measures, including proper ventilation to minimize chemical exposure, providing personal protective equipment (PPE), and conducting regular health screenings. Educating workers about the risks and ensuring practices to limit exposure are also crucial for safeguarding their health.

    What is a personal injury case?

    A personal injury case is a legal dispute that arises when one person suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. Personal injury cases typically involve injuries to the body, mind or emotions, and not property. Examples include car accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, toxic exposures and more.

    If you have been injured by someone or a company's negligence or wrongful actions, you may have a personal injury case. It is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to determine the strength of your case and your legal options.

    The value of a personal injury case can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the severity of the injury, the amount of medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you determine the potential value of your case. It is critical to speak with an experienced attorney to maximize the value of your case.

    The length of time it takes to settle a personal injury case can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the case, the availability of insurance coverage, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others may take longer. The harder your attorney works on the case, the more likely it settles quickly.

    Negligence is the failure to exercise the degree of care that a reasonably prudent person would use in similar circumstances. To prove negligence in a personal injury case, your attorney must show that the defendant did something that a reasonably careful person would not do, and that it caused a physical injury.
