Types of Compensation Available in Benzene Exposure Cases

Your benzene exposure lawyer in Texas can assess your tangible and intangible losses. Based on these, your attorney may help you recover economic and non-economic damages, including:

Medical bills
Loss of income
Diminished earning capacity
Loss of enjoyment of life
Pain and suffering
Burial and funeral expenses if you’ve lost a family member due to a fatal exposure

To help you get these and other damages, your lawyer may craft an argument around negligence. In their argument, your Houston refinery accident attorney wants to be able to show a judge or jury that an at-fault party committed a careless or reckless act, which may have contributed to your losses.

Who Is Responsible for Benzene Exposure?

The party responsible for a benzene exposure may depend on the circumstances of the incident. Your benzene exposure attorney may conduct an investigation to identify any responsible parties. Some of the parties that could be named as defendants in benzene exposure cases include:

Employer
Product manufacturer
Raw material supplier

Per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001, you may be subject to modified comparative negligence in your benzene exposure case. With this, if you sue someone for benzene exposure and are found to be 1-50% liable, your damages can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Or, if you’re deemed to be 51% or more at fault, you may not recover damages.

When to File a Texas Benzene Exposure Lawsuit

According to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003, the statute of limitations for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits is two years. Due to this, you may have up to two years to sue any liable parties if you are harmed because of exposure to benzene. This statute of limitations may also apply if you meet the criteria for filing a wrongful death lawsuit and want to sue someone after losing a family member as a result of a fatal benzene exposure.
