Experienced Lead Paint Defense Attorneys

We have a great deal of experience defending clients in child injury claims involving exposure to lead paint in the home. We understand the technical statues that apply to these cases both in New York City and elsewhere in New York and southern Connecticut.

Working closely with physicians, we determine the level of lead in the blood and whether the child is a candidate for chelation therapy, which can neutralize the effect of lead in some extremely serious cases.

Our attorneys also defend clients in other types of toxic tort liability claims, including those involving:

• Home heating oil spills
• Mold
• Asbestos
• Silica

Toxic tort liability claims may hinge on a number of questions, including:

• Can the plaintiff’s physical ailment be directly connected to exposure to a toxic substance, or are there other possible explanations?
• Is the illness or injury severe enough to meet the legal definition of a serious injury?
• Are there other possible sources of liability?
