Gene,
If your husband has been injured and a doctor will provide an opinion that the lead exposure is the cause of his medical issues, then you have a valid workers compensation claim. You should make sure he formally reports that he wants to make a claim, becasue the deadline for doing so is 90 days after he knows his work caused the injury.
If they will not provide treatment or accept responsibility, you will need to find an attorney to help you file a claim.
