Who’s at Risk?
Because benzene is widely used for industrial and manufacturing purposes, workers in these environments face the greatest risks of developing serious and potentially fatal diseases. Workers in industrial settings are also susceptible to exposure in multiple ways, including skin or eye contact, ingestion, and inhalation.
Workers most at risk for benzene exposure include:
- Workers involved in the oil and gas industry, including plant and refinery workers, barge workers, and more
- General industrial workers, including mechanics and machinists
- Workers in the rubber or printing industry
- Commercial vehicle drivers who transport gas, oil, or other chemicals
- Chemical workers and manufacturers, including lab technicians
Your Rights as a Victim
Victims who have developed serious and life-threatening diseases after being exposed to benzene in the workplace, in addition to families who have lost loved ones due to benzene exposure, may have the right to seek compensation for their damages by pursuing civil legal actions known as toxic torts. These lawsuits enable victims and families to hold at-fault parties liable for serious diseases resulting from dangerous levels of exposure.
Depending on the nature of exposure, the path to financial recovery may vary. Victims’ claims against negligent manufacturers, employers, contractors, or premises owners may be based on product liability or premises liability laws. Additionally, workers in certain industries, including the offshore or railroad industry, may need to pursue action through other avenues and laws, such as the Jones Act or FELA claims.
