Not all jobs are safe. Asbestos, silicosis, anthrax and some types of hearing loss are just a few of the diseases or hazards one might suffer on the job. According to the World Health Organization, an “occupational disease” is any disease contracted primarily as a result of an exposure to risk factors arising from work activity. These occupational diseases are covered under workers’ compensation laws.
An estimated 1.2 million people who worked in 2013-14 were suffering from an illness they believed was caused or made worse by work. If you have suffered from these problems on the job, you could be reimbursed for medical treatment, medical travel, and lost time from work.
If you have experienced any of these or other on-the-job injuries, it’s important you contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Evidence may be lost or destroyed by your employer, so don’t hesitate.
Kelly and West has had more than 30 years of experience helping people like you get the help they deserve after suffering from an occupational disease. Call us today at 910-893-8183.
“Reggie Kelly is a fantastic attorney with fantastic paralegals. My wife and I have been using him and his firm since 1983 when we first purchased property in Harnett County 37 years ago. He offers excellent legal advice and guidance. He never gets in a hurry to get us out the door because of his next appointment. He always takes the time needed to check out all of the issues that might come up. Reggie Kelly is a proud American and he loves our country and he wants everyone to do well. Reggie Kelly is an even finer person than he is a fantastic attorney and we are very fortunate to also be able to call him and his wife Cheryl our friends. We give him a 10 STAR Review!”
