The Effects of Lead Poisoning
Buildings and homes that were built before 1978 may still contain lead paint. Because these buildings are also older, some of that paint is likely to peel, leaving chips available on the floor for young children put in their mouths.
Lead poisoning victims can experience:
- Brain injury
- Neurological effects
- Stunted growth and development
- Coma
- Death
Lead poisoning—who is responsible?
Unlike other child product liability suits, it is unlikely that anyone can hold paint manufacturers or distributors responsible for lead paint injuries. The dangers of lead paint have been well known for decades and it is more likely the property builders, owners, or managers are liable in these cases.
If it can be proven that these parties knew about lead paint on their property, were aware of the likelihood of children residing or visiting there, and still did nothing about the paint, then they are accountable in these cases.
