Location: Roanoke, Va

A 3rd party company came into my job (I work in a warehouse as a picker) and shaved chemicals and epoxy off the floor. They weren't supposed to be in there until the weekend after everyone was gone. They came in and didn't alert anyone that they were there. I was maybe 15 feet away from them. There's been construction at my job for a couple of months so the grinding noise was just the normal. I breathed in what they were shaving and blacked out for a second. I couldn't breathe and had a terrible migraine I let my bosses know immediately who jumped in and kicked them out. I filed a workmans comp claim and was out of work for a week due to work restrictions I was put on. Today was my first day back and everyone's telling me to sue. The guys who did it got fired from what I was told. Is there enough here to sue the 3rd party company over? If so what kind of lawyers should I turn to and talk to?

I have medical documentation of me going to the doctor and hospital multiple times due to being unable to breathe. I have witnesses and there is recorded footage.
