Lead Poisoning - Lead Paint Poisoning
1. What is lead paint poisoning?
Every year thousand of children ingest lead paint and test positive for lead paint poisoning.
Most cases involve children approximately kindergarten age and younger
that have been tested with a venous blood level over 25 microns per
deciliter or higher. Usually cases are brought against the owner of the
apartment or house that contained the lead paint.
2. If I have a lead paint poisoning case, what should I do?
It is extremely important to have an experienced personal attorney
who has expertise in the handling and presentation of a lead poisoning
case.
It is critical not to do anything that might have a negative affect
upon your case. An experienced attorney might advise you not to give
any statements or sign any authorizations so it is important to get the
advice of an experienced attorney before you do something that could
have a negative impact upon your case.
3. How do I go about getting experts to help me with my lead poisoning case?
An attorney experienced in lead poisoning cases will be able to
suggest a team of experts that can range from attorneys, to, depending
upon your case, a private investigator, doctors, and economists to help
develop your case.
4. Who will pay the expenses of hiring all of these experts?
In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and
expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded,
they would be reimbursed for their costs out of the recovery. In some
states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible
for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no
legal fees. In other states, if there is no recovery, the client will
owe nothing for the costs and expenses, which will be absorbed by the
law firm or attorney.
