Benzene is a cancer-causing chemical that is used in many products and industries. It can cause leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers. If you have leukemia after working with or around benzene, you may be able to get a settlement from your employer or the product maker.
A leukemia settlement can help you pay for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. The amount of your settlement depends on your case details, such as your cancer type and stage, benzene exposure level and duration, and the laws in your state.
To get a settlement, you need to file a benzene lawsuit with the help of a qualified benzene lawyer. A benzene lawyer can help you prove that your leukemia was caused by benzene exposure and negotiate with the defendants for a fair settlement. If they don’t agree to settle, your benzene lawyer can take your case to trial and fight for your rights.
Some examples of recent leukemia settlements from benzene exposure are:
- $6.3 million for an auto mechanic and painter who developed MDS, a precursor to leukemia.
- $18.5 million for a chemical worker who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
- $3.65 million for consumers who bought antiperspirants that contained benzene.
