Lead poisoning is a serious health issue that can affect anyone, but it is especially concerning for tenants living in older buildings with lead-based paint. At Tenants Law Firm in Los Angeles, California, we understand the dangers of lead poisoning and the legal rights of tenants who have been affected by it.
Lead-based paint was used in many buildings constructed before 1978, and it can still be found in some buildings today. When lead-based paint begins to deteriorate, it can release lead dust that can be ingested or inhaled by tenants, leading to serious health consequences. Young children are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can cause developmental delays and cognitive impairment.
Tenants have the right to live in safe and habitable housing, and landlords have a legal responsibility to ensure that their properties are free from hazards such as lead-based paint. If a landlord fails to address lead hazards, they may be held liable for any harm caused to tenants.
At Tenants Law Firm, we are dedicated to protecting the legal rights of tenants and holding landlords accountable for their actions. If you or your child has been diagnosed with lead poisoning, it is important to seek medical attention immediately and then consult with an experienced lead poisoning lawyer.
