Orlando Lead Paint Poisoning Lawyer

The dangers that lead can pose to people who inhale or ingest it are not a recent discovery. In fact, paint and other products containing lead were banned in other countries as early as 1900. Sadly, powerful industries won out in the US, and lead was not legally regulated until the late 1970’s. As a result, lead based paint remains a common health hazard even today.

If you have rented or visited property containing a dangerous substance such as lead based paint, you could receive compensation for any injuries suffered as a result. To learn more about lead and premises liability law, call Orlando lead paint injury attorney Todd Miner at 407-420-4040.

The Tragic Consequences of Lead Poisoning

Despite the government’s intervention, lead paint can still be found on many older buildings and products. This toxic substance primarily poses a risk to small children, who are more likely to ingest it and more vulnerable to any kind of poisoning than adults. Over time, ingestion of lead paint chips can lead to major health problems, including:

• Neurological disorders (sometimes causing learning disabilities or mental retardation)
• Behavioral problems (including hyperactivity and possibly criminal behavior)
• Delayed growth and development
• Kidney damage
• Seizures and/or coma

Early symptoms include loss of energy and appetite, constipation, anemia, headache, and sleep disturbances. If your young child begins showing these symptoms, contact a doctor right away.

If your child’s condition was caused by a negligent property owner who failed to ensure a safe environment, an Orlando lead paint poisoning attorney can explain your legal options. You could be able to win compensation to cover the medical attention and care your child needs.
