Benzene use in the United States today is highly regulated but remains an important function for many manufacturing operations. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, benzene is also a known carcinogen.

Benzene has been linked to the following cancers;

If You Have Worked in ANY of these Industries…

  • Detergent Production

  • Gasoline Production
  • Solvent Production
  • Paint & Varnish Production
  • Adhesives Production
  • Rubber Processing
  • Petroleum Processing
  • Waste Management
  • Laboratory Technician
  • Auto Mechanic

You were most likely exposed to benzene.  As a consequence if you have been diagnosed with AML, ALL, NHL or Myelodysplastic Syndrome you may have a cause of action for compensation against this cancer causing product.

If you or a family member has been exposed to benzene in the workplace or is suffering from medical complications associated with benzene exposure, contact our legal team via the Free Case Evaluation form. An experienced benzene lawyer will evaluate your case and answer all your questions free of charge.

We will thoroughly evaluate your exposure levels with an expert industrial hygenist, toxicologist or other medical professional who can provide an opinion as to whether benzene exposure resulted in your Acute Myelogenous Leukemia / Acute Myeloid Leukemia / Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma / Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Once the benzene lawyer and the experts have evaluated your case, we will discuss your prospects for compensation via a lawsuit.
