I would like to know if I can sue for getting a rash from work that has been lasting for nine months

Answered a year and 6 months ago by attorney Derek S. Franseen   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Workers Compensation
If you are able to prove that the rash is caused by exposure within a work environment, yes.
