I was exposed to asbestos on my job in Broward County. Am I eligible for workers' compensation for asbestos exposure?
A: Being exposed to asbestos on a job that has resulted in bodily harm such as mesothelioma, pleural disease, lung cancer, and asbestosis can entitle you to file a Broward County workers' compensation claim.
In filing a Broward County workers' compensation claim, your employment history must show that you were employed before the date of being disabled due to the disease. There also must be evidence of the disease that resulted from the exposure of the asbestos.
If you have been exposed to asbestos on-the-job and have experienced illnesses as a result of the asbestos, call the Law Offices of David Benenfeld for a free consultation, and to speak to an experienced South Florida workers' compensation attorney today at 866-9 HELP NOW or 866-943-5766.
