Sick Building Syndrome Attorneys
in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming
Sick building syndrome is a term that refers to the development of illness or disease as a result of the presence of chemicals, compounds or substances that can cause a person to become ill. These can include glues, paints, mold or other substances that irritate the human body after exposure. In Colorado, workers compensation generally provides the"exclusive remedy" for diseases developed because of workplace exposures. That means that if the employer has workers' compensation insurance, the employee receives compensation benefits and cannot sue the employer. However, the individual may have a claim against others because of toxic exposure in the workplace. For example, if the employer rents or leases space from the owner of the building, it might be possible to bring a premises liability claim. It might be possible to bring a claim against the persons or companies who provided the materials that caused the sick building. Click Here: Work -related Injuries for more information.
