Benzene Attorney Blog

I have just realized that i have been being slowly poisoned for 5 years!
The story began in 2005 when i moved in to my current residence. I signed my tenancy on 7/7/05, on 25/10/05 i reported a horid smell in the kitchen coming from under the boiler.
The housing association sent out a contractor….he determined that the horrid smell was coming from the old drain pipe from the boiler. This pipe was poking up through the worktop…the smell was coming from there.
He got some electrical tape and taped up over the pipe.
Nothing further was logged as the contractor obviously did not think it was a problem.
I have suffered from severe nausea since i moved into the property. My medical history clearly show i was fine up until the end of 2005…and ill up until dec 2009.
My doctor has been stumped at why no matter what " Anti depressant " she puts me on i continue to feel sick. I have been on 20+ anti depressants, beta blockers, sleeping tablets, anti sickness tablets, IBS tablets…none helped the nausea.
25th Feb 2010 my kitchen was torn out ready for a new one….the landlord also paid for a new combi boiler.
After the boiler was fitted the fitter asked me if i had smelt gas….i told him that i hadnt but there was a funny smell i couldnt identify. He then went on to tell me that he had to replace a section of pipe as it had a pin hole leak in it. I have pictures of the old pipe…before it was replaced and the " section " that was replaced due to the leak.
The pipe was located behind a kitchen cabinet….none of the cabinets had backs.
I have secured a lot of information regarding natural gas poisoning….i have contacted the manufacturer of the odour as well as NGRID.
I have print outs from the Hazardous Substances Database which i am going to show to my doctor tomorrow.
There is clearly a link between the time i moved to the property…the gas leak found and my 5 years of untreatable nausea.
Natural gas poisoning causes a lot of the symptoms i have. I have called an ambulance on several occasions due to what felt like heart attacks…im 30 btw. This is all documented.
As are all the medications i have been prescribed and the tests carried out. At the beginning of my sickness i had an Endoscopy….they thought it was bacteria to begin with but then slowly drew to the conclusion it was infact anxiety.
This seemed like a plausible answer to my nausea, shaking, chest cramps, insomnia, and agoraphobia. I had split up from my girlfriend due to my sickness….i was always so nauseas i could never go out in the final 2 years of our relationship….i was with her for 7 years! and the final 2 i was so ill she decided she could no longer cope with it.
Since 2005 i have been able to work maybe 2 years because i have always felt so ill….mainly in the morning.
Everything points to the gas being the root of the problem…..please read up on natural gas poisoning before claiming its not toxic….or talking about CO2 poisoning….ITS NOT THE SAME.

I have spent the last week reading up on each chemical in the gas before it is burnt….as it is in the pipes before combustion.
The gas BEFORE combustion contains a whole bunch of nastyness……the gas in the pipes are made up of :

90% Methane
5% Ethane
3% Propane
2% Other components ( radon, benzene, and odourants )

Like i say i have studied hard on this subject, i do not expect my doctor to accept that they were wrong so i have printed off a lot of data to show them. I have also requested my medical history from 2005 – 2009. This shows a clear correlation.

My landlord is responsible….they send in a contractor to maintain the boiler but they are useless….and have clearly failed to spot the leak. I have made numerous complaints about this company over the past 5 years.

The windows are always on vent in my place due to the " horrid " smell i reported back in 2005. I also smoke.

What should i do now….???? the evidence is clearly piling up against my landlord.
I have taken fabric samples of furniture and sealed them in air tight jars. Blood tests can reveal the poisoning….its shown in the blood count….i have had maybe 40 blood tests in the past 5 years.

I was earning £35k a year prior to my illness.

I intend on suing my landlord….you may say that its for the money and yea it is!! My life has been misery for 5 years….i want to live it to the max now im free of my nausea!!!

I might also point out that natural gas also has a more sinister side in that it can cause infertility and cancer in the bones ( leukaemia ) so i will be requesting tests for these also.

I dont want to use a no win no fee lawyer….but have no idea what do do from here really?
I want to sue for loss of earnings, pain and suffering and damages.
I would imagine if successful this could be potentially worth £200k +, so i do not want to use a crappy lawyer with no knowledge or an ambulance chaser.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as im g
For twats like BruceWayne…..

Dont blame me dick head, blame my landlord :p…blame my doctor but you cant blame me PRICK!

So what hes basically saying is that even though i was being poisoned this is not a good enough reason to clam benefit??? How about fuck off twat…i pay my taxes…probably more than you ever have :p

Get the name and address of the gas company that fixed it. Get the name of the gas man. Talk to a good personal injury attorney in your state.
