A lead poisoning lawsuit or settlement will pay you for many types of losses that you have incurred, including medical bills, loss of past and future income, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, and others. These types of compensation can sometimes range into the hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars if the case is placed in front of a jury. This causes landlords and their insurance companies to want to settle cases quickly.
There are other types of compensation for adults, who have suffered from an acute or chronic form of lead poisoning. These types of compensation for lead poisoning injuries are workers’ compensation, if the injury occurred due to work related activity, and Social Security Disability, if you have become unable to work for at least one year.
