Liver cancer is a life-threatening condition that has been relatively rare but has been becoming more common in recent years. About 1% of Americans will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
Liver cancer can cause nausea, jaundice, fatigue, weight loss, and other symptoms. Over time, it can spread to other parts of the body and can eventually lead to loss of life for the patient.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. In homes, schools, and workplaces it’s a serious health concern that often goes unnoticed. In Florida, you might have a claim if you become ill or develop lung cancer due to radon exposure that was caused by someone’s negligence.
If you’ve been diagnosed with lung cancer and think workplace conditions or radon exposure may have been the cause, contact Flaxman Law Group at 866-352-9626 to set up a free accident consultation with a personal injury lawyer. We can review what may have caused your condition, whether you have a claim, and how much that claim could be worth.
Unfortunately, some workers in Hollywood and across Florida are exposed to dangerous substances on the job. The most serious of these can cause life-threatening conditions, such as cancer.
Sino-nasal cancer (also spelled sinonasal cancer) is one of the less-common occupational cancers. If you’re diagnosed with this or any other disease and suspect workplace exposure may have played a part, you might be wondering if you have a claim or whether you qualify for workers’ compensation. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to establish a link between workplace cancer and exposure, in part because exposure can happen years or even decades before diagnosis.
Research has shown that “newness” is one of the top factors for workplace injury. Young workers and newly hired employees of any age are at a higher risk of on-the-job accidents and injuries when compared to their more seasoned colleagues. Some studies have suggested that in the first three months of a new job, employees are three times more likely to sustain a workplace injury when compared with workers who have been on the job for at least a year.
At our family-oriented law firm, Flaxman Law Group, our father-son attorney team routinely speak with employees injured on the job. These injuries not only cause pain and suffering, but also very real financial worries. New workers sometimes worry about getting their rightful benefits.
