The Dangers of Exposure to Benzene
As the chairman of the American trial Lawyers' Association Benzene/Leukemia
Litigation Group, Attorney R. Dean Hartley is keenly aware of the complex
legal issues involved with benzene exposure litigation in West Virginia.
At Hartley Law Group, PLLC,
our lawyers stay abreast of all the changes in the law and procedural rules relating
to the efforts of victims of benzene exposure to be fully compensated
for their injuries and losses.
Benzene occurs in many substances that we use or come in contact with in
our daily lives. It is a colorless and sweet smelling chemical which is
highly flammable and evaporates quickly. Low levels can be found in the
outside air and comes from cigarette smoke, motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline
and industrial emissions. Detergents, glue, paint, and other household
solvents can cause a buildup of benzene within closed areas such as homes
and offices.
Common Types of Benzene Exposure
Working in an industry that uses or manufactures benzene related products
causes a great deal of exposure risk to workers. In West Virginia, there
is a high incidence of benzene exposure related illnesses such as anemia
and leukemia. For 38 years, our attorneys have been fighting for the rights
and deserved financial compensation for victims of benzene exposure and
other work related diseases. We are passionate about and dedicated to
eradicating unsafe working conditions and practices in our local industries.
If you or someone you know has been stricken with these
deadly diseases and you believe they may be the result of benzene exposure, please contact

claims. The heavy burden of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering
of the affected individual can be fully compensated under the law with
