Highly Experienced New York Lead Poisoning Attorney

Our highly experienced New York lead poisoning attorney understands the harmful effects of inhaling or ingesting lead paint particles or lead dust.

Lead poisoning has harmed more than 300,000 children under the age of 6. Even small amounts of lead can cause loss of IQ, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder (ADD), belligerent behavior and stunted growth. At high levels, mental retardation and even death can occur.

We urge you to protect your family from this hazard. There are paints designed for painting over leaded paint. However, it is hard to protect lead painted surfaces that receive a lot of wear and friction, such as door jams and window frames.

How Children Get Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning can have a devastating effect on children, who are also more inclined to ingest lead. When lead paint is exposed, it has a tendency to form a dust that can "sparkle" - making it attractive to children. The dust can get on children's toys and clothing, as well as floors (where children crawl). Because children like to place things in their mouth, it is easy to understand why the ingestion of lead is more prevalent in children.

Other Toxic Torts

We also handle a variety of other toxic torts cases, including those involving harmful chemicals and products, such as asbestos, solvents, and other toxins.
