Massachusetts Attorneys Focusing on Toxic Welding Fumes Cases

Thornton & Naumes, LLP in Boston is a leader in welding fume litigation.  For more than 10 years we have protected the rights of workers exposed to toxic welding fumes by pursuing claims against manufacturers and employers.

Working as a welder, or in an area where industrial welding is performed, may mean that you were exposed to welding rod fumes containing excessive levels of manganese.  Recent medical research suggests that exposure to welding fumes may lead to two serious illnesses—manganism and Parkinson's disease.

Manganism, also known as secondary Parkinsonism, develops when excessive levels of manganese injure the portion of the brain that controls body movements.  Symptoms of manganism include:

  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Slow or slurred speech
  • Poor memory
  • Impaired balance and tremors
  • Delusions and hallucinations
  • Disorientation
  • Difficulty walking

Representing Parkinson's Disease victims with compassion

In addition to manganism, recent studies have found that exposure to manganese fumes is associated with the early onset of Parkinson's Disease.  Research conducted at the Washington University School of Medicine found that welders developed symptoms of Parkinson's Disease an average of 15 years earlier than the general population.

You should contact us immediately if you were involved in welding—or worked for long periods in areas where welding work was performed—and you have a number of the symptoms listed, . You have a limited time to file a claim.
