First off make sure you contact CalOSHA -- http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/
Then you need to find a local Worker's Compensation attorney who represents employees. http://www.riversidecountybar.com/public-services/lawyer-referral-service
You should immediately file a worker's compensation claim for benefits with your employer. These benefits include ongoing medical treatment. temporary disability benefits and a settlement for permanent disability and cost of future medical treatment. I can refer you immediately to a forensic toxicologist for an evaluation. Feel free to call me at 213-388-7070 for a free consultation.
