Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL)

Benzene is linked to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a blood cancer that is associated with workplace exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, such as benzene. Every year, approximately 70,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with this cancer, and many cases are caused by benzene exposure.

Workers in industries that make or use benzene are exposed to this chemical the most. Companies are required to protect workers from unsafe benzene exposure. However, workers are still working in unsafe conditions, where benzene is prevalent.

Some workers who were exposed to benzene and were later diagnosed with cancer like Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma have earned million-dollar settlements for their suffering. So call today to discuss whether there may be compensation for your benzene related injuries.
