Who can file an ethylene oxide exposure claim?

Direct victims of EtO exposure and their relatives may file a toxic exposure claim

Long-term exposure to ethylene oxide may cause a range of cancers, like leukemia, lung cancer, breast cancer, etc. The individuals who are at high risk of EtO exposure include the following:

• Facility employees: Workers employed at places that use EtO are at higher risk of exposure due to direct contact with the toxic chemical. These people may include plant workers, truck drivers, and warehouse workers.
• Residents near facilities: Since EtO emissions are airborne, people who have homes within four miles of facilities that emit EtO may also qualify for an EtO claim.
• Relatives of victims: Families who lost a loved one to cancer linked to EtO exposure may also be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.

Note that early filing is important because of the state-specific deadlines for toxic exposure and wrongful death claims. You may reach out to a seasoned lawyer at ELG Law to be positively sure that you are eligible to file an EtO claim. Our legal team will only need a few documents, such as your employment or resident records and medical documents, to get started.
