Child Injuries from Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning can lead to severe injuries, especially in children. It can affect how a child performs in school or even impact their relationships. Dangerous children's toys that contain lead paint may expose children to high levels of lead. When this happens, lead poisoning may result.

Determining what has caused lead poisoning requires some digging. A Chicago product liability lawyer has the resources you need to determine if a defective product was the result of your child's injuries. An attorney can also help collect the necessary evidence to prove your Illinois product liability claim.

Injuries from lead poisoning can be very serious. They can result in lifelong difficulties that affect a child's ability to learn and behave. Exposure to high levels of lead has even resulted in death.

Some of the injuries that can result from lead poisoning include:

• neurological problems;
• learning disabilities;
• brain damage;
• loss of intellect;
• neuropsychological problems;
• attention deficit disorder;
• hyperactivity;
• severe behavior problems;
• swelling of the brain;
• organ failure; and
• coma.

Children's quality of life can be significantly diminished by lead poisoning, as can their futures as adults. Injuries from lead poisoning may be also irreversible and require long-term or life-long care. If a defective product or dangerous children's toy caused your child's lead poisoning injuries, you should not have to shoulder these significant costs of your own.

If your child has been injured by lead poisoning from a dangerous children's toy or product, you should immediately contact a Chicago product liability lawyer who can help you file your Illinois product liability claim.
