How close to an ethylene oxide facility do you need to have lived to pursue an EtO breast cancer claim?

What documents support a residential EtO breast cancer claim

Two categories of documentation form the foundation of a claim: proof of residence within three miles of an EtO facility and proof of a cancer diagnosis connected to EtO exposure. Supporting documents to prove your residence include:

• Property deed or rental lease for an address within three miles of a sterilization facility 
• Other documents, such as a utility bill, mortgage statement, or rental payment receipts

Documents relating to your diagnosis that can help prove your claim include:

• Medical records showing a diagnosis of breast cancer or an EtO-related cancer 
• Treatment records, lab results, and records from the providers who treated you

If a claim is successful, compensation may include medical treatment costs, lost wages, and personal damages. For cases involving a deceased family member, funeral and burial costs may also be recoverable.
