Q: I worked for a company 30 years and was diagnosed with CLL in 2016, doctor said from recent blood work i had it 2 years
Prior, I sure it’s from the chemicals I worked around and the industrial paint we used, Should the company be held liable for this ??
A: There is a very real possibility that the employer could be liable to some extent, as well as the manufacturer of the industrial paint that you used. I would highly encourage you to reach out to an attorney to further discuss. Most lawyers on here, including myself, offer free consultations to see how we can help out. I would advise, however, that you talk to someone sooner rather than later, as there are strict time limits on being able to initiate a lawsuit in matters such as this.
