Lead Exposure Lawyer

Young children are most at risk of suffering the ill affects associated with exposure to lead. Paint is usually the culprit; as lead-based paint peels and crumbles and chips and dust may be ingested or inhaled. Although banned from use in residential applications since 1978, lead paint is often found in city and urban dwellings, and older suburbs. Properly remediating or containing lead is important to the health and safety of children and adults living in the home.

Lead poisioning can cause a host of neurological, joint and reproductive problems. Children under the age of six suffer the most debilitating consequences from lead exposure; lowered IQ, developmental delays, and behavior problems are most often cited.

Lead posioning risks include:

  • brain damage, lowered IQ
  • slowed cognitive growth, development delays
  • behavior problems, attention disorders
  • headaches
  • reproductive problems
  • nerve disorders
  • high blood presssure, hypertension
  • memory and concentration issues
  • joint and muscle pain

Lead Poisoning Lawsuit

Our toxic exposure lawyers have worked with many families who's lives have been negatively affected by lead poisoning. An example of one of the lead poisoning lawsuits we've persued is that of a family who was hurt by something as seemingly benign as their window coverings.

Our clients were a young family who had bought a mobile home. Although not new to them, it was only a few years old, and constructed well after the 1979 lead-based paint ban. Despite the ban, the mobile home manufacturer used lead based paint on the mini-blinds in the home. As the slats of the blinds bumped and scuffed against one another, the paint on them begin to break and chip off, allowing the family's young child and toddler opportunity to ingest chips as they became accidently attached to toys, or inhale lead dust released into the air.

The children suffered from neurological damage and delays. Our lead exposure lawyers were able to secure damages for the family, funds that will help provide additional support during the children's education and as they make a way for themselves as adults.

What our lead poisoning attorneys cannot do, and indeed no one can, is turn back the clock on the damage done by lead. Protect your family by following the EPA's guidelines for protecting your family from lead poisoning.
