If you feel sick after visiting someone else’s home or a Los Angeles attraction, it’s smart to seek medical attention immediately. You could have been exposed to a dangerous or toxic poison. Prompt medical care will help to ensure that any damage caused by the exposure is limited. Seeking medical attention will also benefit you if you decide to file a lawsuit for damages.
The answer depends on (a) the type of poison involved and (b) how you were exposed. Here are some signs and symptoms of more common types of poisoning injuries.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. It has no taste. When you inhale carbon monoxide, the gas replaces the oxygen in your blood.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
Carbon monoxide poisoning kills 400 people every year. Others sustain irreversible brain damage and other debilitating injuries.
Pesticides are applied to plants to kill weeds, bugs, and other pests. Most commercially-manufactured pesticides, like Roundup weed killer, are incredibly toxic to human health. Acute or chronic pesticide exposure can have serious consequences.
Symptoms of pesticide and insecticide poisoning include:
Pesticide poisoning can occur if you ingest the poison or absorb it through the skin.
Lead-based paints have been outlawed in the United States since 1978. However, homes and buildings constructed before then may still have walls coated with lead paint. Lead can also exist in toys, furniture, or other products. Many cities also have unhealthy levels of lead in their water.
Signs and symptoms of lead poisoning include:
Exposure to high levels of lead can lead to significant developmental problems and even death.
You shouldn’t have to worry about what you might be exposed to when venturing out of your house. If you visit someone else’s property, you should feel safe. In California, property owners have to keep their premises reasonably safe for guests and visitors.
Generally speaking, owners have to inspect their property and search for any hidden hazards or dangers. This includes toxins or poisons that could pose a threat to your health or safety. If they find a hazard, they have to fix it. They must at least warn you that the hazard exists until they solve the problem.
When you’re injured on someone else’s property and the owner hasn’t taken these steps, they can be liable for your injuries.

“Mr. Glotzer represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I was badly injured,but the insurance company refused to offer me a reasonable settlement. I decided to find an attorney and decided to hire Josh.
His law firm did a great job on my case. They were very responsive to all my questions and obtained a great resolution for me. I received way more money than was originally offered. I would recommend their firm to friends and family.”
“Mr. Josh Glotzer is a great attorney. Over the last 15 years he has helped me on a number of cases with professionalism, and more importantly a positive outcome in my favor. I have referred him to a number of friends and colleagues, all of which have been equally as happy with his legal representation. I trust him and confident in legal ability. I highly recommend his law firm.”
“Don’t try to deal with insurance companies on your own. They strung me along for almost two years before I gave the case to Glotzer & Leib. Josh and his team quickly obtained a settlement that netted me many times what the insurance company was offering. Thank You!”
“My wife was in a car accident last year and Josh did an amazing job representing her. It’s very refreshing to see someone in his profession that actually cares and puts his clients first. He’s the best in the business and I feel so fortunate that I was referred to him. Keep up the great work and thanks for everything you did for my family!”
“I was in a rear end car accident last year and hired Mr. Glotzer’s office. It wasn’t a big case but their office helped me with my property damage claim and did a good job resolving the injury portion of the case as well.”
