Do I have a case against my former employer for axposing me to methylene chloride?

You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits, ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care.

Maybe, but you have to be diagnosed first and the Dr. has to be willing to swear under oath that what is wrong with you is caused by the chemical. Good luck.

The case against your employer would only be worker's comp, although you might contact OSHA. They might be able to shake out more money. You may also want to check out whether there is a class action against methyl chloride manufacturers.

Yes, it is called workers compensation.

Quite possibly. See a good worker comp lawyer for full review.

See a Worker's Compensation attorney who deals with work hazards.

You might have a comp claim, if the date of last exposure was less than two years ago.

You very well may, if you did not know about the dangers of inhaling this chemical. You would generally have one year from the date you knew or should have known that your medical conditions may be caused from ingestion of the chemical. You should consult with an attorney immediately.

There are potential significant chronic health effects to inhaling _methylene chloride _ (http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9926060) according to the Material Data Safety Sheets.

The substance is toxic to lungs, the nervous system, liver, mucous membranes, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. You haven't described any of your symptoms so it's not possible for any lawyer to answer your question. What I suggest is you make an appointment with a lawyer who gets involved in civil litigation and understands the industry.
