Toxic Chemical Exposure

Of the places that people can work, construction sites are certainly on the more dangerous end of the spectrum. The environment is in a state of flux, with heavy machinery and the necessity of working at great heights. There are other hazards as well, including the potential to being exposed to toxic chemicals. If safety regulations are followed, then the risk is minimized, but there is still danger.

Regrettably, the negligence of those who are working at a construction site can adversely affect the welfare of people nearby, as in the case of the improper storage of toxic substances. If you or your loved one has been sickened due to exposure to construction-based toxins, we can help. Contact the New Jersey toxic exposure lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529. You may be able to seek financial compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and related damages.

Dangers of Toxic Substances

Asbestos, though no longer used in new construction, is a very real hazard for crews that are in the business of demolishing older buildings. Inhaling, ingesting, and contact with the skin are the most common ways to have toxins introduced to your body. Such contact with toxic substances may result in the following:

  • Silicosis
  • Lead poisoning
  • Mercury poisoning

Poisoning can take time to manifest, so you may not show symptoms right away. Be aware, however, and take action as soon as possible.
