New York Toxic Paint Poisoning Lawyers
Holding New York Property Owners Responsible for Dangerous Lead Levels since 1950
At first, the dangers of lead paint may seem minimal. Property owners and landlords, though, are subject to numerous laws that hold them responsible for lead poisoning injuries and that describe lead's dangers which can include:
- Damage to the brain, kidney, and cardiovascular and nervous systems
- Developmental issues
- Damage to the reproductive system
- Anemia
- Cognitive deficits
- Hearing loss
- Wrongful death
If you or your child has been poisoned by lead or has fallen ill, and you have questions about a potential legal claim, contact our firm. In addition to having handled dozens of lead poisoning claims, firm attorney Richard Apat worked as a legal defender on numerous lead poisoning cases as a lawyer with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Our firm consequently has both extensive experience and a unique, dual perspective on the handling of these claims.
Knowledgeable in the Intricacies of Investigating and Handling Lead Poisoning Claims
Children are the most common victims of lead paint injuries. Often, lead paint has been painted over but negligent property maintenance has led to a chipping away of the outer safe paint layer. The under layer of lead paint then chips off and is consumed by kids who may be attracted to its sweet taste.
