Lawyers for Victims of Benzene Exposure
Tracey Law Firm - Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi
Benzene is a Class A carcinogen known to cause acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in humans. Although it does exist in the natural environment, the greatest health risk to people is posed by industrial processes like plastics manufacturing that require benzene, and from man-made products like solvents that contain it.
Attorneys at Tracey Law Firm fight to obtain maximum compensation for chemical and refinery workers, printers, press operators, plastic and rubber manufacturing employees, and anyone else who suffers from a serious illness caused by benzene exposure.

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
AML is an aggressive cancer that affects human bone marrow and its ability to produce healthy new blood cells. Under normal circumstances, bone marrow produces large numbers of unformed cells known as "blasts." The blasts then develop into the white blood cells that the body needs to fight off disease and infection. In people with AML, the blasts do not develop normally and the number of abnormal cells grows quickly, severely limiting the body's ability to withstand invaders. Symptoms of AML include tiredness, fever, frequent infections, anemia, and excessive bleeding or slow healing.
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
The effects of myelodysplastic syndrome (formerly known as pre-leukemia) on the body are similar to those of AML. There are several types of MDS. Among these, the cases can be mild or severe and in extreme cases result in life expectancies as short as just a few months. Much is still not understood about this group of diseases and benzene exposure is just one of the known causes.
