West Palm Beach Lead Paint Poisoning Lawyers

Despite the fact that the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned lead-based paint from all residences and businesses in 1978, many Florida homes may still have lead paint on their ceilings, walls, floors, and exteriors. Lead paint causes a variety of health problems and can lead to severe injuries or death, especially in young children who may be exposed. In fact, children under the age of ten have a higher rate of fatality due to lead poisoning than any other demographic.

Do I Need a Premises Liability Lawyer?

Property owners have a legal responsibility to provide a safe environment for renters, visitors, and anyone else who may enter or use their premises. While you have a right to compensation if a property owner has been negligent, our clients often face negligent, wealthy landlords or other real estate tycoons who are determined to win their case. This means that you may be up against corporate lawyers who want nothing more than to avoid all forms of payment. They will use all their power to avoid blame, no matter the cost, which means you may be left without any compensation if you try to handle your claim alone.

Premises liability law is complex. Florida has a specific set of property laws that may be confusing for someone without years of legal experience. It may be even harder to navigate this process while coping with a severe injury or while helping a loved one who was exposed to lead-based paint. Instead of putting all these pressures on yourself, hire a lawyer. While you focus on your recovery and your family, your lawyer can stand up to corporate lawyers and insurance agents to ensure you get the full amount of compensation you deserve.

Types of Cases We Handle

Unfortunately, there are many ways that a person may be injured by exposure to lead-based paint. Most often, adverse effects occur because of paint that flakes off of the wall and onto other items or objects that is then inhaled or ingested. Children especially are drawn to these flecks and may suck on them or consume them, resulting in severe injury.

Exposure to lead is known to cause damage to brain development in children. Moreover, the most severe ailments that result from lead poisoning include:

• Brain injury: This includes internal bleeding and memory loss.
• Seizures and Convulsions: Lead-based paint, when consumed, can cause a build-up of lead that negatively interacts with the central nervous system.
• Comas – Brain damage from lead poisoning can be so severe that a person’s body can shut down completely.
• Death – Too much lead in the system can cause severe anemia, brain injury, seizures, or strokes that end in death.

Treatment after lead poisoning can cost thousands of dollars, on top of the stress and heartache that you and your family may endure.
