Maritime Exposure & Illness

Leukemia, Lung Cancer and Other Illness Caused by Chemical Exposure

Many career maritime workers have been unknowingly exposed to potentially toxic and carcinogenic substances during the course of their job. Long term exposure to industrial solvents, diesel fumes and byproducts of oil and gas production has been shown to cause serious, life-threatening and fatal illness.

If you were diagnosed with leukemia, mesothelioma, asbestosis or another chronic, progressive illness and you suspect that maritime workplace exposure may be the cause, the Texas law firm of Stevenson & Murray can provide you with honest answers, straightforward legal guidance and support in a free consultation. Contact our offices today to speak with an experienced maritime accident, injury and illness lawyer.
