Our practice is devoted exclusively to Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury and Wrongful Death litigation in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. We aggressively pursue compensation from employers, manufacturers and other third parties that bear responsibility for toxic exposures.

Our attorneys have attained settlements worth millions of dollars for clients exposed to carcinogens and dangerous chemicals in various occupations, such as:

  • Taconite workers
  • Dry cleaners
  • Auto and Bus mechanics
  • Refinery workers
  • Plumbers and pipefitters
  • Construction workers
  • Agricultural workers
  • Printers
  • Manufacturing employees
  • Hair dressers
  • Teachers

Asbestos abatement workers

Exposure to  asbestos, heavy metals, benzene, formaldehyde, acids, flammable substances, mold, radiation and a long list of toxic chemicals contained in hair dyes, inks, dry cleaning fluids, building materials, pesticides, welding and other common products can lead to terrible cancers and diseases that can have a work related connection.

Some clients have developed pancreatic and bladder cancers, lung cancer, mesothelioma  brain and other forms of cancer. Others are suffering from brain damage, eye injury, occupational skin diseases, COPD and lung ailments, organ failure or chemical burns.

How Do You Prove Your Job Caused Your Cancer?

Having a Doctor connect your exposure to a specific carcinogen, toxin or cancer causing agent at a past job is the necessary link to bring a claim. We also pursue third-party lawsuits against manufacturers that concealed the dangers or negligently contributed to the harmful exposure.
