Kankakee Mercury Poisoning Lawyers
Mercury, though natural and utilized in a number of different products, is toxic to humans. Mercury poisoning is a very serious health concern and can arise when one comes in contact with mercury by touch or through the air. Mercury affects the brain and central nervous system, resulting in a number of serious emotional, cognitive, and physical problems. When a negligent property owner fails to adequately clean spilled mercury or to identify and eliminate possible sources of mercury exposure, they may be found legally responsible for the harm that befalls guests as a result.
If you have developed mercury poisoning as a consequence of exposure which took place on another party’s property, we can help you to pursue financial compensation through a civil lawsuit if appropriate.

Signs of Mercury Poisoning
Mercury is particularly dangerous because it can be absorbed through the skin, especially if one is handing broken equipment like batteries, thermometers, and fluorescent light bulbs. Some of the most common symptoms of mercury poisoning include the following:
- Burning feeling on skin
- Increased heart rate or blood pressure
- Weakness
- Memory loss
- Severe mood swings
- Anxiety and depression
Once you have received medical attention, it is advisable to speak with an attorney about your legal rights if your mercury poisoning occurred due to the negligence of a property owner.
