Workers' Compensation vs. Toxic Tort Litigation
If you've been exposed to dangerous chemicals at your workplace, you have two options after you've reported the incident: applying for workers' compensation or filing a toxic tort injury lawsuit.
About Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation forces your employer to cover part of your lost wages and pay for your medical expenses as you recover from an injury sustained while performing normal duties on the job.
About Toxic Tort Lawsuits
If you suffer an injury due to exposure to toxic chemicals on the job, a toxic tort civil claim allows you to seek legal damages for medical bills, disability, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
