Lead is a toxic substance that can cause serious injuries to the kidneys and brain and is especially dangerous to young children whose neurological systems are still developing. Exposure to lead paint is the most common cause of lead poisoning and is often seen in homes built prior to 1978, older furniture, and in toys manufactured outside of the U.S.

Symptoms of Lead Paint Poisoning
Lead poisoning occurs progressively, when lead levels build up in the body over an extended period of time. Typically, lead in the blood is not detected until levels are high, when kidney and nervous system damage is detected, but even low-level lead exposure can cause permanent brain damage in children. When lead levels in the blood are dangerously high, seizures, unconsciousness, and even death are possible.
Many times, there are no symptoms to lead paint exposure, however, some symptoms of lead poisoning can include:
- Poor muscle coordination
- Decreased muscle and/or bone development
- Learning disabilities
- Speech difficulties
- Behavior problems and disorders
Because of the risk that lead paint can pose to children, Illinois has passed laws that require product manufacturers and landlords to remove lead paint from their products and properties. Illinois law allows parents of children exposed to lead paint who have suffered damages to recover compensation on their behalf when a manufacturer or landlord does not take the proper precautions to keep your child safe.
If your child was diagnosed with lead paint poisoning, consult an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Illinois has a statute of limitations regarding lead poisoning and you need to act quickly so you do not miss your opportunity to receive the compensation your child deserves.
