Lead Poisoning
Lead is extremely harmful to both children and adults, even in very small quantities. It can affect a number of different bodily systems and severely compromise a person’s health. Since lead was once used in pipes, machinery, and paint, traces of it can still be readily found, especially in old buildings. It has since leached into the ground, water, and air, and these traces can inflict much harm.
If you are a victim of lead poisoning, someone may be held legally responsible for any resulting damages and you may be entitled to compensation. Experienced Austin personal injury lawyer Vic Feazell can help you determine who is accountable and will protect your interests in a court of law.

Causes of Lead Poisoning
People can suffer health problems from being exposed to even small traces of lead, and it can be ingested in a number of ways, including:
- Drinking water contaminated with lead
- Breathing in lead dust from flaking paint
- Ingesting food with a higher than normal lead concentration
- Breathing in dust kicked up from the ground in construction, mining, or demolition projects
Unfortunately it is sometimes difficult to recognize and successfully diagnose lead poisoning. If, however, you have been positively diagnosed, it may be possible to pinpoint the source and find those responsible for your sickness.
