Are You or Your Child Suffering From Lead Poisoning? You Have Rights.

As parents and caregivers, we do our best to keep our children safe and healthy. So it may come as a shock to learn that lead poisoning from the paint in your home can rob them of their futures.


Lead from household paint or unsafe products can be ingested or inhaled by small children, affecting them for the rest of their lives.  Children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning because they are more likely to put things containing lead in their mouth and because they absorb more lead than adults. Lead Poisoning can cause serious, permanent brain damage in infants and young children and in severe cases, in adults. Lead poisoning is one of the most widespread and preventable childhood diseases in the country.

Sadly, many Iowa landlords and property owners allow lead paint in their properties to deteriorate causing a serious health risk to children residing in those properties. Often landlords ignore the requests of local health departments and housing authorities to remove lead hazards, leaving families with no choice but to move from the rented property.  Is this fair?

Suffering from lead poisoning?  You need legal help.


There is hope if you or your child is suffering from lead poisoning.  Our Iowa lead poisoning lawyers can help you fight for your children’s rights in a lead poisoning lawsuit, and try to get you the money you will need for you or your child’s medical treatment and any future challenges they may face.

It is not too late to get money for you or your child’s lead poisoning injuries.


If your child suffered lead poisoning at a young age and is now having difficulty in school, is in Iowa special education classes or has behavioral problems that you think may have been caused by the lead poisoning, it’s not too late to file a lead poisoning lawsuit.

You can pursue a lead poisoning claim until your child’s 19th birthday. The effects of lead poisoning often are not seen until a child begins school. Oftentimes, cases brought on behalf of older children are easier to prove because the child’s injuries from the lead poisoning are more well known to the child’s parents, teachers and doctors.

Why should you take legal action after lead poisoning?


Lead poisoning can affect your child’s ability to learn.

Young children are most susceptible to the effects of lead poisoning. Even low levels can cause learning problems and brain damage.  Speech delays are one of the earliest signs of lead poisoning. If you suspect your child may have been exposed to lead poisoning, then request a blood test. These may be done through WIC or at your child’s pediatrician.

While lead poisoning often has no obvious symptoms, it is known to cause the following injuries:

  • Loss of intelligence
  • Learning disabilities
  • Behavioral problems, including ADHD
  • Speech delays or language problems
  • Decreased muscle and bone growth
  • Poor muscle coordination
  • Hearing damage
  • Anemia
  • Nervous system and kidney damage


The loss of IQ and brain damage caused by lead poisoning does not disappear as your child gets older.  The effects of lead poisoning can last a lifetime.

We will work with you to make your child’s future the best it can be.


Brady & O’Shea’s goal in pursuing an Iowa lead poisoning lawsuit is to help provide some financial security for your children the future.
