A year ago last nov my husband was working for a local city waste water plant and due to negligence of another employee was sprayed in the face with chlorine gas. His boss knew it happened because he was there. He just said oh you will be ok. Well about a month later he had to leave work to go to a doctor because he couldnt catch his breath. He was diagnosed with asthma which he had never had before this. He was given and inhaler and instructed to stop smoking which he did. A few months later we moved and he changed jobs. Shortly after starting the new job his breathing problems got increasingly worse and he was forced to resign because he could not preform his duties. He has tried to work serveral other jobs but has not found any that were not hindered by his asthma and issues related to the asthma. He started going to a local clinic which gave him more inhalers and daily breathing medication and also placed him on meds for panic attacks, aniexty, and depression due to the asthma. He has breathing test done and it showed that his lungs are only functioning at 79% which classifies as COPD. I am wanting to know if i have any legal rights to make the city pay him for his medical, pain and suffering, and inablilty to work and support his family. He even has trouble doing regular household activities. If anyone could give me any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless.
