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 please contact us at the Law Offices of David M. Benenfeld. We can help you get the compensation you deserve.
