Lead Poisoning?

We assist tenants who have been wrongfully affected by unsafe housing conditions

Lead poisoning is most often caused by deteriorating lead-based paint, prevalent in older buildings constructed before 1978. When this paint peels, chips, or cracks, it generates hazardous lead dust or chips that can be ingested or inhaled. Renovation or remodeling projects conducted without proper precautions can also release lead dust into the air, contributing to contamination. Lead-contaminated soil around older buildings or areas with a history of lead-related activities can pose a risk, especially to children who may inadvertently ingest the soil while playing outdoors. It's crucial to be aware of these potential sources of lead exposure in housing and consult with knowledgeable housing lawyers to assess the specific circumstances and determine appropriate legal actions to protect the rights and well-being of residents. In California, a landlord can be found responsible for damages including medical costs, pain and suffering, and more.
