Occupational Illness & Long-Term Condition Representation
Strong advocacy for workers harmed by toxic exposure or workplace conditions
Introduction
Helping NH Workers Affected by Occupational Illness & Long-Term Conditions
Occupational illnesses often develop slowly—sometimes over months or years—but their impact can be life-changing. Whether caused by chemical exposure, mold, toxins, repetitive inhalation, unsafe ventilation, or long-term environmental hazards, these conditions may entitle workers to significant workers’ compensation benefits.
At Vanacore Law Office, we help workers across New Hampshire secure medical coverage, wage benefits, and long-term support for illnesses caused by their work environment. With more than 40 years of experience, Attorney John G. Vanacore provides clear guidance, honest communication, and strong advocacy for workers facing chronic or progressive conditions.
