Lead poisoning has come into the limelight recently due to the Flint water crisis. Unfortunately, lead poisoning cases are not all that uncommon. If you have been poisoned by lead on someone’s property, it falls under the legal area of premises liability. Property owners owe an obligation to visitors to protect them from dangers on the property. If they fail to meet that duty, they can be sued to help cover damages visitors have experienced.
What to Do If You Experience Lead Poisoning
If you believe you have lead poisoning, the first thing you should do is seek immediate medical attention. After being treated by a medical professional, you need to talk to an attorney with experience in premises liability cases. They can help guide you to the next step of your case and get you the monetary compensation you need to move forward.
Symptoms of Lead Poisoning
The symptoms of lead poisoning are not always apparent right away. Often, the symptoms of lead poisoning are misdiagnosed for other illnesses until lab tests reveal high levels of lead. Symptoms of lead poisoning include…
- High blood pressure
- Joint pain
- Headaches
- Memory loss
- Mood disorders
- Constipation
- Muscle pain
- Decline in mental abilities
If you have any of these symptoms, contact your doctor right away. They can run the necessary blood test and perform the treatment you require to heal.
