California law requires landlords to maintain safe rental properties, particularly when it comes to known lead hazards. If your landlord didn’t disclose risks or failed to fix peeling paint, they may be legally liable for your child’s injuries.
For over 27 years, our attorneys have fought to protect tenants across California, specializing in lead poisoning and tenant rights cases. We understand how to build strong, effective claims that get real results.
Many tenants don’t realize they may have a valid case. We’re here to help you find out.
Families in older apartments (built before 1978) with peeling or chipping paint.
Parents of children with a confirmed blood lead level test.
Renters whose landlords ignored requests to fix unsafe conditions.
Families living in Section 8 or other subsidized housing.
Tenants who were not given a lead hazard disclosure form before moving in.
While every case is unique, a strong lead poisoning claim typically includes:
Evidence of lead paint in your home.
A blood test showing elevated lead levels in your child.
Proof your landlord knew or should have known about the hazard and did nothing.
Do not worry. This is one of the most common concerns we hear. Many landlords rely on tenants having imperfect records. Our investigators are skilled at uncovering evidence, finding public records, and documenting a landlord’s history of neglect.

Yes—if a landlord’s neglect led to lead exposure, you can file a claim for damages.
It depends on your child’s diagnosis and your landlord’s conduct. Some cases settle for thousands, others for millions.
While every case is different, settlements can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars.
Treatment can help, but some damage—especially to the brain—is permanent. That’s why legal action is so important.
Lead paint in older buildings can poison infants and children when ingested or inhaled, causing developmental delays, learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and serious health complications.
Property owners are required to maintain apartments free of toxic hazards. Failure to remediate lead paint exposure in children is illegal under California habitability and public health laws.
Our attorneys investigate exposure, document hazards, and pursue legal claims on behalf of families. We hold landlords accountable and work to recover compensation for medical care, relocation, and long-term impacts.
