There are likely a couple ways your son may be able to pursue this as a workers comp claim. Either as an injury by accident and/or a single exposure occupational disease. This could get pretty complicated pretty fast. You should call an attorney for a full consultation ASAP. Thanks for your question and I'm happy to help.
