When you embarked on your career, you may have expected to undertake a certain amount of risk. However, you also expected your employer to provide safeguards for you to keep you safe from illness and injury.
After working your entire career, you may near or enter retirement with the knowledge that you now suffer from a job-related chronic or terminal disease. You can seek the compensation that you are entitled to by hiring a railroad cancer law firm to represent you.
Proving Liability
When you have a lawyer on retainer, you can prove who is liable for your illness. The company that you worked for may deny that it caused you to get sick. It may say that you took unnecessary risks and exposed yourself to fumes and fluids that caused your cancer.
However, your legal team can prove that you took the necessary precautions and did not contribute to your own illness. It can lay the liability for what happened to you directly at the feet of your employer.
Once it proves that your employer is liable for your illness, your legal team can then decide whether or not to pursue a judgment or settlement. Your attorney can make sure you get the compensation to pay for your medical bills and compensate you for your punitive damages.
