Lead poisoning lawyer
Lawsuits against landlords, lenders, or lead paint manufacturers for negligence which has caused lead poisoning need an experienced lawyer. Children suffering from lead poisoning may be entitled to compensation from those responsible for their injuries. A lawyer handling such a case should first find the source of the lead by employing an experienced lead expert to test each residence or other location where the lead exposure could have occurred. Next, the lawyer should arrange for the child to be tested by a pediatrician or neurologist for evidence showing the extent of the child's lead-related injuries.
The number of lead paint lawsuits in the northeast are increasing rapidly, with landlords and lenders, such as banks providing mortgages, as prime targets. It has been estimated that, in 1993, over 1,500 lead-related cases were pending in Boston and Baltimore area courts alone. Other parts of the country are also seeing increases in the number of lead-related lawsuits.
If you wish to initiate a legal investigation into the possibility that your child has suffered damages as a result of lead poisoning due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of a landlord, person or company, contact a lawyer with experience in lead poisoning cases.
