Houston Lead Paint Poisoning Lawyers

Though we tend to think first of the dangers that we can see or of which we have lasting visual impressions,
there are a number of hazards that remain invisible parts of our surroundings. Carbon monoxide gas,
for example, is odorless, colorless, and tasteless making it virtually impossible for a person to notice
its presence until it is too late.

This represents one common residential danger, but there is another widespread problem that inhabits
homes, businesses, and workplaces on a broader scale. Lead-based paint was commonly used until it became
apparent that there were adverse health effects associated with exposure and legislation was passed
to limit and eliminate its presence in paints.

Unfortunately, there are still many buildings where lead paint coats the walls, exposing the people
who spend significant amounts of time in them to dangerous health effects. Contact the Houston lead
paint poisoning lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 832-369-8296 if you have been sickened as a result of
a landlord’s failure to disclose the presence of lead paint or another property owner’s negligence.

Compensation Consideration

The effects of lead paint poisoning can vary widely depending on the severity and duration of the harmful
exposure. In some cases it may cause permanent damage to organs or other bodily systems and functions,
and in others it may simply afflict an individual with an intense bout of prolonged nausea and can be
resolved with treatment.

Two common treatments include chelation therapy and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid therapy, each of
which aim to eject the lead from one’s system with the use of a medication. Regardless however, the
medical expense is likely to be significant, and a successful legal action can gain you financial compensation
for the following, depending upon your case:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Disability (in cases of permanent damage)
• Pain and suffering
