Benzene
HeplerBroom LLC attorneys have extensive experience defending clients in cases involving allegations of injuries due to exposure to benzene, toluene, xylene, gasoline, diesel fuel, diacetyl, and numerous other chemicals.
Overview
Benzene litigation began to proliferate in the Midwest in the early 2000s. HeplerBroom has been there from the start, successfully defending manufacturers, distributors, employers, premise owners, and oil companies in this complex, high-stakes litigation. We serve as Midwest regional counsel for a Fortune 50 client that is frequently involved in this litigation and have defended clients in toxic tort benzene suits in Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio.
Our attorneys have an in-depth understanding of the science and medicine involved in benzene litigation. We have extensive experience working with expert witnesses in this field and put this knowledge and experience to work in partnership with our clients to develop successful, cost-effective defense strategies.
Working from our firm’s six offices (Madison County, Springfield, Chicago, and Crystal Lake, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; and Hammond, Indiana), we handle cases throughout the Midwest. Our team of experienced trial attorneys and dedicated staff of paralegals, as well as our technological capabilities, assure our clients that the best possible resources are dedicated to their cases.
