Welding Rods...

Exposure to the welding fumes may cause: cramps in arms or legs, increased tiredness, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, slurred speech, mood changes, memory loss, weakness in arms and legs, loss of balance, overall weakness, and many other symptoms. These symptoms are often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease. A verdict in the amount of $1,000,000 was awarded to a 57 year-old male who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Reports estimate of 20,000 welders initially screened in three Gulf Coast States- 2500 have Parkinson's or Parkinson's type disease. This is a considerable increase of the normal 1-1.5% of US population affected by Parkinson's. We are in the process of evaluating and obtaining medical records in order to categorize our clients. Daniel Becnel, Jr. was recently appointed as the chairman of the Welding Rod litigation committee to ATLA.
