Lead Poisoning Compensation Claims
Industrial diseases and illnesses are some of the most common medical claims that we deal with here at Tylers Solicitors. Lead poisoning claims are one of our specialities, and we can help to ensure that you receive the compensation that you desperately need. This is always a serious condition, and in many cases, can prove fatal. As one of the most dangerous and common illnesses facing construction workers, builders and other professionals, it is important that you choose the best team to represent you.

What is Lead Poisoning?
Lead toxicity (sometimes referred to as plumbism) occurs when high levels of lead begin to build up in your body. Exposure to excessive amounts of this material can be down to a wide range of causes, including contaminated soil, food, water and even air. Some old buildings, for example, used lead paints before we realised how dangerous they could be. Exposure to the buildings, especially if the lead is disturbed and made airborne, can be a major cause of illness.
We all have a right to expect clean, safe working and living conditions. Thanks to lead poisoning claim with Tylers solicitors, you can get the compensation, and the justice, you deserve.
What Can I Claim Following Lead Poisoning?
Exposure To Poisonous Materials
Despite the variety of ways in which you can obtain plumbism, occupational exposure remains the most common cause. You can inhale or otherwise consume lead as a result of a wide range of industrial procedures. Lead dust, fumes and vapour can be created by:
- Cleaning Old Paint – This includes blast removal and burning.
- Hot Cutting – This typically occurs in demolition and dismantling operations, and is one of the most common ways that lead becomes airborne.
- Recovering Lead – When lead is recovered from scrap and waste sites for recycling purposes, it can cause lead poisoning.
- Lead Manufacturing and Smelting – Though your employers should take steps to ensure your safety, there is still the risk of lead build up in your system which can cause long-term problems.
Your body will absorb lead by either the inhalation of dust, fumes and vapours. You can even swallow trace amounts of the substance and not be aware of it. This can happen when food or drink becomes contaminated at a worksite.
What Are The Symptoms For Toxicity?
Although toxicity is rare after a single event, repeated exposure can cause a variety of symptoms. Some of these symptoms might be quite minor, but others can be life-threatening, and certainly life-changing. These can include:
- Abdominal Pains and Cramps.
- Constipation.
- Difficulty Sleeping and Fatigue.
- Irritability and Aggressive Behaviour.
- Memory Loss.
- Headaches.
- Anaemia.
Although lead toxicity is dangerous in adults, in children it can be even worse. Continued exposure can cause severe kidney dysfunction as well as a loss of developmental skills. It isn’t hard to see why lead poisoning claims are so essential when it comes to dealing with this illness.
