Lead poisoning is the introduction of lead into the body. Even small doses can be hazardous to your health, leading to psychological, mental, and physical health effects that can last many years. Lead poisoning can even be fatal.

Children are especially susceptible to lead poisoning, and it can affect them in more ways as their bodies and brains are still developing.

Exposure to lead most often occurs when contact with lead-based paint and dust particles occurs, often when adults are renovating a home. Those who renovate homes are at an increased risk of lead exposure, as are those who work with batteries or in auto repair shops. Lead can also be found in soil, water, and even contaminated air.

Get help filing a claim against those responsible for your lead poisoning by contacting a Michigan lead poisoning lawyer at Christensen Law.

Who’s Liable for Most Lead Poisoning Cases?


Most often, lead poisoning occurs in the home environment. For children, exposure often takes place when chips of lead-based paint come off walls and the children ingest these paint chips. Exposure in adults most often happens when lead particles are released into the air and inhaled.

Property owners, landlords, and those selling a home known to contain lead-based paint are legally obligated to inform others about the health hazard. Landlords and home sellers can be held liable if tenants are harmed because of lead poisoning.
