Mrs. R. was a 46-year-old worker who cleaned offices at night. Unbeknownst to her, the building was being fumigated with a very concentrated and powerful chemical agent. It was so toxic that the men doing the work were wearing Hazmat gear. Neither her company nor the exterminating company notified her of what was going on. When she opened up her supply closet, she was consumed by a cloud of heavy fumes, and she became violently ill. She was found to have developed Lupus. With the use of a chemical exposure expert and medical documentation, we were able to show conclusively that the Lupus was caused by the chemical exposure. Thereafter, the case settled.
