Child Mercury Poisoning Lawyer
While children tend to bounce back quickly from illnesses because of their young and robust immune systems, they are greatly affected by mercury exposure and may suffer serious and permanent damage. Because they are still developing, children exposed to large amounts of mercury may suffer from neurological damage, which will inhibit their memory, attention span, and speech. Such harm dealt to a person so early on in life will strip him or her of the mental and physical freedoms and pleasures granted to other, unaffected individuals.
If your child has been a victim of mercury poisoning, then you deserve to speak out and take action against the responsible party. Child mercury poisoning lawyer Jeffrey Killino has dedicated his practice to helping people in your situation see justice served. Call The Killino Firm, P.C. today at 877-875-2927 to schedule an appointment.
How does one get mercury poisoning?
Mercury poisoning is typically cause by oral exposure to or ingestion of a large concentration of mercury. Most commonly, these cases arise from one of the following:
- Poor dental practices when inserting or removing mercury amalgam (silver) fillings
- Ingestion of fish with large mercury concentrations
- Exposure to mercury through batteries or paint (often found in children’s toys)
While mercury thermometers are not common these days, some households still have these medical tools. When they break, nearby individuals are at a high risk of overexposure to mercury.
