Many people are exposed to toxic substances more frequently and in greater amounts in their careers. All types of positions deal with their own types of exposure, as anything from normal cleaning agents to even long days in the sun can lead to major health issues in the future.

The effects of toxic substance exposure are very rarely immediate and serious. In fact, more often than not this damage accumulates slowly over years of frequent and repeated exposure. This means that being able to prove responsibility or liability for a toxic exposure is a long and difficult battle since the defense will often argue that outside factors could have had just as large of an influence on the condition as the presumed cause.
