$1.65M Settlement for Lead Poisoning in Children

$1.65 million award to two young siblings, both of whom had been exposed to lead paint in their apartment during the formative years (ages 2 – 6), when lead paint peeled from the radiator pipes and window frames. We showed that lead paint has a sweet taste, attractive to children, who find it on the apartment floor as they play and ingest it. As the children got older, they experienced cognitive and neurological symptoms, resulting in poor school performance, hyperactive behavior and poor eyesight, amongst other health issues.
