How Do I Get a Lead Poisoning Settlement?

To find out if you and your child can get a lead poisoning settlement, it is necessary for your lawyers to fully evaluate your case.  When you call our office, we will ask you the following questions:

• How high were the child’s blood lead levels?
• What age was the child first diagnosed with elevated blood lead levels?
• Where were you living at the time of the exposure?
• Did the home have peeling, chipping, and flaking paint?
• Were you renting the property at the time of the poisoning?
• Who was your landlord at the time?
• Did you complaint to your landlord about peeling paint and dust in the property?
• What are the health and educational problems with your child?

Once we have this information, we can better understand the harm suffered by the child and can evaluate the potential settlement.  Parents often receive settlement funds as well in these cases.

Who Pays the Settlement Amount?

Typically, the liability insurance company for the property owner or landlord pays the settlement amount.  Occasionally there may also be a separate business insurance policy or the landlord is a large company that can pay the settlement on its own.  Our attorneys will locate all potential sources for payment of the settlement and will go after all potential monies to provide for full compensation.
