Our Buckfire Law attorneys represent people who have been injured or who have lost loved ones because of the negligent driving of others. Above all, we represent our clients with the highest degree of skill, integrity and compassion.
Flint Lead Poisoning Statistics
The harmful effects of lead exposure on children’s health are well-documented. They include cognitive deficiencies, increased antisocial behavior, lower educational attainment, and a host of problems affecting the brain, kidneys and liver.
Not all children in Michigan are tested for lead. Children who are enrolled in Medicaid are required to be tested at 12 and 24 months, or between 36 and 72 months if they have not been tested before then. Anyone else can be tested voluntarily, regardless of age. Testing tends to be concentrated in areas with a higher likelihood of exposure to lead poisoning, such as Flint.
In the year 2016, there were 157,892 children that tested positive for elevated blood lead levels in Michigan. That is a 20 percent increase from the previous year. In Flint, specifically, blood levels in children under the age of six were at 92.3 percent.
With so many negative effects, it is devastating for parents to watch as their children become sick from lead poisoning.
To better understand the events of this crisis, our lead poisoning lawyers have created the Flint Water Crisis Timeline Infographic. The timeline depicts the major events in chronological order, beginning from the change in the water supply until former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder’s appearance before a congressional committee in March 2016.
Time Deadlines for Flint Personal Injury Cases
The statute of limitations for filing lawsuits in Michigan is different for specific case types.
Most personal injury cases have a three-year deadline for suing a negligent person or business. Cases involving medical malpractice and nursing home neglect have a two-year time limit for filing a lawsuit.
There are some exceptions to these general rules. These include cases for wrongful death, matters involving injuries to a minor, and lawsuits based upon insurance contracts and no-fault laws.
You should contact our Flint attorneys immediately to determine how much time you have to file your case. If you miss the deadline, your case will be lost forever.
