INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT), LAWYERS AND CLIENTS: USEFUL TIPS BY CHARLES JEROME WARE,LLC - Maryland

www.charlesjeromewarecom  "Here to make a Difference.  Tomorrow's Lawyer Today."
This site is for informational purposes only , and not intended as legal advice.

Most attorneys are not informational technology (IT) experts, although increasingly we are called upon to be knowledgeable of the basics of IT so as to properly advise and counsel our clients.
 This is particularly the case when so many IT problems having legal implications today are prevalent --- and increasing.

The following are some brief tips to help the typical lawyer and the typical client maneuver through some basic IT issues.:

1. CYBERSECURITY is a problem that lawyers and their clients should be aware of. It sounds exotic but it is a very serious issue that we must deal with constantly in this modern IT environment.

2. OVERSHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA of our private information can make it easier for others to collect and seize our assets as well as our identity  I will not name the major social outlets, but you know who they are.

3. ENCRYPTION sounds exciting but it is not enough to perfectly protect the privacy of your information. It is a good start, though, for data privacy.

4.  EMAIL is very popular these days but it is hardly the most secure method to handle business. Paper documents, telephone, and face-to-face meeting can still be useful business communication tools.

5. eDISCOVERY  is here and popular in litigation, but its use does not mean that clients should collect and keep evry piec of information generated .

He can help you if you have been named in a lead poisoning claim or lawsuit. This site is for informational purposes, and not intended as legal advice.


Because of its many houses and apartments built before 1978, as well as its history of heavy use of industrial lead in industries, Baltimore is considered by many commentators as being "ground zero"
for lead paint and lead poisoning claims and lawsuits. Operating as a property owner or landlord in some communities in Baltimore can be very demanding : requiring far more diligence, resources, and responsibleness than other rental housing locations. Many are tempted but fewer are successful in serving as residential rental landlords in Baltimore, Maryland.


First of all, residential landlords should be diligent in maintaining their properties in a "lead-free" manner --- and on a continuous basis.


Secondly, landlords must be sure to provide tenants with lawful notice of all environmental hazards, including lead paint.


Thirdly, landlords must keep good tenant and property records, and maintain them for several years.


All lead abatement or removal work on the rental property should be performed by workers certified by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) or the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).


Even though it can be difficult (very costly) to acquire in certain high-risk communities, residential landlords must diligently seek to acquire lead liability insurance coverage for each residential unit.

MINIMIZING LEAD PAINT LIABILITY IN BALTIMORE : A PRIMER by ATTORNEY CHARLES JEROME WARE

www.charlesjeromeware.com  "Here to make a Difference.  Tomorrow's Lawyers Today."
For answers to questions or an initial free consultation , contact Attorney Charles Ware at the Maryland-based national law firm of  Charles Jerome Ware, Attorneys and Counselors, LLC :
(410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.  This site is for informational purposes only, and not intended as legal advice.

For residential rental landlords in certain areas of Baltimore, lead paint claims are virtually epidemic. There are essentially two key reasons for this problem : (1) the large number of pre-1978 built houses and apartments ( which included lead paint when constructed) and (2) the substantial use of lead (Pb) for industrial purposes in Baltimore's history.

There are certain fundamental tips I advise my residential landlord clients in Baltimore and other major Northeast metropolitan areas of the United States.  A few of them are as follows:

1. Before purchasing the residential property, do a thorough background investigation  of it;
particularly if the property was built prior to 1978. Try to avoid purchasing properties with known lead and other environmental hazards.

2. Engage in  lawful and due-diligent background checks of potential tenants, including credit reports, references, criminal background checks etc.

3. Be diligent in repair and maintenance of the rental property; particularly with respect to environmental hazards such as lead (Pb) paint, asbestos, mold, etc.

4. Use qualified and government-certified workers ( Maryland Department of the Environment, or MDE; and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA) for all lead, asbestos and mold-abatement work.

5. Provide lawful and proper notice to tenants of and both potential and actual lead paint and other environmental hazards [ and see, TITLE X(10), etc.].

6. Seek and acquire adequate lead and other environmental hazard liability insurance, and other appropriate rental insurance.

7. Acquire lead-free certifications from the government for your rental properties.

8. Keep good tenant and rental property records.

BALTIMORE "ALARM" LANDLORD DEFENSES : Asbestos, Lead paint, Anti-discrimination, Radon, Mold PROBLEMS

For answers to questions or an initial consultation, contact us at Charles Jerome Ware,
Attorneys and Counselors, LLC, at (410) 720-6129  or  (410) 730-5016. This site is for informational purposes and not for legal advice.

For the average residential rental landlord, Baltimore is considered by some commentators to be "ground zero" for resident complaints and claims such as lead paint and lead poisoning. asbestos issues, mold and radon problems, as well as housing discrimination lawsuits. One of the reasons for this is the large number of apartments and houses in certain neighborhoods that were built before 1978 (when lead paint was outlawed in these residential units).  A second reason is the previous history of heavy industrial use of lead (Pb), asbestos, and other chemicals and compounds in the metropolitan area, etc.,

Baltimore residential landlords must be careful to stay on top repair and maintenance needs for their properties
and make necessary repairs on the property promptly when reported.

Further, landlords should not fail to disclose and remedy environmental hazards such as lead paint and other lead poisoning, mold, asbestos and radon.

Although landlords are encouraged to engage in due diligence when checking the backgrounds of prospective tenants, and in maintaining tenant and property files, care must be taken to avoid discrimination against tenants.

We strongly recommend that landlords seek adequate liability and other types of property insurance.

Finally, hire qualified managers to run your rental properties, and hire Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) - certified workers to perform any and all lead abatement, asbestos abatement, etc., work on the rental properties.

When facing a security clearance appeal, it is important to obtain legal representation immediately, so as to facilitate the best opportunity for maintaining your security clearance --- as well as your livelihood. For questions or an initial courtesy consultation, call attorney Charles Ware at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. He and his staff can help you.


A security clearance essentially declares that a person is trusted to safeguard national security information. There are various levels of security clearance, all of which require different levels of investigation. Top secret clearance is the highest level a person can obtain. The second highest level is secret clearance. The third level of security clearance is confidential clearance. each level of clearance requires an investigation into a person's background for a defined period of time, usually the last 10 years or so. Persons seeking to obtain the security clearance must provide the necessary detailed, personal information to complete the thorough investigation


Even after a person obtains a security clearance, it does not mean they have it for good. Each level requires reinvestigation at different times. Holders of top secret clearances require reinvestigation every 5 years. Those persons with secret clearances must undergo reinvestigation every 10 years. Confidential clearance employees need to be reinvestigated every 15 years.

BALTIMORE LEAD PAINT LAWSUIT MITIGATION 101 : By Charles Jerome Ware, Maryland and DC Lead Defense Attorney

www.charlesjeromeware.com    "Here to make a Difference.  Tomorrow's Lawyers Today."
This site is for informational purposes, and not for legal advice. For questions or an initial courtesy consultation, call premier lead paint and lead poisoning defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware and his staff at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. They can help you when you have been sued for lead paint or lead poisoning.

Baltimore has for many years been considered "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning claims and lawsuits in the United States. Two primary reasons for this have the large number of pre-1978 built houses and apartments in the city, as well as the previous heavy-industrial use of lead (Pb) in the area. Needless to say, if you are a residential rental landlord for pre-1978 built residential units in
the Baltimore metropolitan area, the likelihood is high that you either have been, or will be, sued for alleged lead paint poisoning.

A few tips for landlord lawsuit prevention follow;

1. Always research the lead paint history of the pre-1978 built  real property before you purchase it.
2. Carefully maintain the property after you have purchased it.
3. Always provide fully-compliant TITLE X(10) notice  and information to all new tenants  prior to renting the property to them.
4. Respond quickly to tenant  lead or other maintenance requests or complaints.
5. Keep good tenant and property maintenance records (tenant files).
6. Safeguard these tenant and property maintenance for at 21 years.
7. Use only Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE)-certified workers for any type of property maintenance work that involves lead abatement or removal.

Car accidents are among the most prevalent causes of personal injuries in the United States.Many of these injuries are serious and costly.

Negotiating a settlement for a car accident or personal injury claim requires that you calculate a reasonable amount of money you would accept to give up your legal claim.

EFFECTIVE BALTIMORE LANDLORD INVESTIGATION OF LEAD PAINT CLAIMS : Defense Attorneys- Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com   " Here to make a Difference." For questions or a free initial consultation, contact Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. Attorney Charles Ware and his staff can help you when you are being sued for lead paint poisoning.

To evaluate a childhood lead paint poisoning claim effectively, it is essential that the landlord investigate all possible sources of the child's exposure to lead aswell as all possible causes of the child's neurological deficiencies.

1. The first step in this process is to investigate the property alleged to be the source of the lead poisoning. Residential landlords should perform periodic inspections of all rental housing and apartments in their buildings, fully documenting their visual observations. The results should be compiled in an "inspection report, and the findings should be reviewed with the tenants. The tenants should sign the inspection reports, confirming their agreement with the landlord's observations.

2. Research and know the residential property's history.  It is possible the landlord may not have owned the property during the alleged lead infection, etc.

3. Tenant Complaints. How has the landlord handled tenant complaints? What has been the normal procedure for tenant repair requests (including paint issues) ?  Any documentation to verify the performance of painting and other maintenance by the landlord will enhance the landlord's defense in a lead poisoning lawsuit.

4. The tenant File.  What is the tenant's history with property ? The background and personal history
of the plaintiff-mother and plaintiff-father should be fully investigated.

And, as always, there are other documents to find and review.

Maryland is not a strict liability jurisdiction when it comes to lead poisoning liability.
Negligence against the landlord for lead poisoning liability and damages in Maryland must be
proven by a preponderance of the evidence. Generally, in Maryland the landlord must be proven to to know or have had reason to know of the dangerous lead (Pb) condition in to be held liable for damages.

It is, in fact, illegal to use lead paint in a dwelling in Maryland

Motor vehicle-related personal injuries are a leading cause of death for people in the U.S.

Vehicle crash injuries in 2012, for example, in the U.S. totaled at least $18 billion in lifetime medical costs. Lifetime work lost because of vehicle crash injuries that year cost an estimated $33 billion.

Americans spend more than 1 million days in the hospital each year from vehicle crash injuries. More than 2.5 million Americans went to the emergency room (ER) or emergency department (ED), and nearly 200,000 Americans were then hospitalized, due to vehicle crash injuries.

[This blog is for informational purposes only, and not for legal advice.]

Lead paint lawsuits against residential landlords have increased significantly in
major northeast metropolitan areas such as Baltimore, D.C. and Philadelphia in recent years.
Understandably, this situation creates considerable anxiety in the housing landlords. Although many of these claims are legitimate, all too often frivolous claims are brought against landlords who still must defend themselves against these lead (Pb) liability allegations. Should you be the recipient of
a lead paint claim, call us for a courtesy initial consultation, or with any questions you may have, at Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.  Needless to say, getting sued is no fun. It is stressful, and can be very traumatic. Getting good, experienced legal representation is a must.
The average minimum lead paint claims against landlords in Baltimore, for example, are $ 75,000.00.
However, over the years, I have represented landlord clients on several occasions who have been sued for upwards of $ 5 million. We have been fortunate to have had successful defense  representations  and defense results in all of these cases.

Anxiety is a psychological response to stressors that can have both harmful psychological and physiological components. Getting good, experienced legal defense representation can work wonders in not only having successful results in your lead paint case, but also in significantly diminishing or lowering the harmful anxiety that comes with being sued for so much money. Give us a call to discuss.

Getting arrested for drunk driving (DUI or DWI) is a stressful event. Getting convicted for drunk driving is outright traumatic, and can be life-changing in several ways --- including jail-time as well as adversely affecting your career. Drunk driving is treated very seriously throughout Maryland as well as the United States by the judicial system as well as government agencies. Therefore, it is important that you seek advice from an experienced DUI and DWI attorney when you are charged with drunk driving   Self-representation is not a good idea when arrested or charged with these offenses.

Anxiety, of course, can play a major role when a person is faced with this situation of arrest and criminal charges.  Anxiety is a psychological response to stressors that have both psychological and physiological components. For most of us normal people, the behavioral reactions to anxiety can be influenced by psychosocial-cultural factors such as gender, race, age, employment, religion, nationality, immigration status, basic personality development, past experiences with law enforcement and other "authority" figures, cultural and spiritual values, economic status, anatomical- medical- health experiences, among others. All of these factors can play a role in a person's responsive actions when stopped by the police; and they should considered in mitigation of that person's charges. This is just one area where an experienced DUI and DWI attorney can be helpful to you when you are arrested or charged with a DUI or DWI.

WARE'S GUIDE TO "SUCCESSFUL" HOWARD & MONTGOMERY COUNTY MARYLAND DIVORCE : Summary by Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, Attorneys & Counsellors

www.charlesjeromeware.com        "Here to make a Difference."

In general, civility is a goal in the judicial systems of Howard County and Montgomery County, Maryland. Therefore, a party's behavior during the very stressful and traumatic event of divorce is
observed carefully. It is my observation in over 30 years of representing good people in divorce and family law matters that, regardless of the attitude the party presents superficially, everyone is adversely affected emotionally, psychologically, and financially by their divorce. I have always tried very hard to be cognizant of and sympathetic with this fact.  Divorce is tough on a person, and especially on children of the parties.  Divorce and family law involves the raw emotions of human beings, not mechanical widgets. Nobody "wins" in a divorce, but it is still possible to have a
"successful " divorce.  A summary guide  ( "WARE's GUIDE") I recommend is as follows:

1. Do not enter into a divorce with an attitude to "win".  The better attitude for a party, I have observed, is to enter the divorce process with an attitude of "successful survival" of this stressful process. This attitude actually increases your chances of "winning"( whatever that standard means to you.).
2. Just as you preferably did before you married your spouse, measure at least twice (consider carefully your decision) before you decide to pursue a divorce from your spouse. Be absolutely sure the divorce is what you want to do.
3. Get good, sound and reasonable  divorce legal advice early in the process. But the final decision to act must be your decision, not that of anyone else.
4. If you it may help, seek competent therapy to discuss your situation.; particularly when their are children involved.
5. Speaking of children, remember it is not the children that are getting the divorce from the other parent; it is the parents who are getting the divorce from each other. The children are, quite frankly, victims of the divorce.
6. EDUCATE yourself on the divorce process. Your divorce can be helpful with this.
7. Set reasonable goals and make reasonable plans for the future.
8. Collect copies of all of your financial records and documents immediately.
9. Keep your children uupermost in mind duiring your divorce
10. Create and maintain the "big picture" of your divorce and your future.

UNFAIR TRADE AND PRICE-FIXING PRACTICES IN MARYLAND : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC, Attorneys & Counsellors

www.charlesjeromeware.com     "Here to make a Difference."

Unfair trade and price-fixing practices among companies in Maryland and throughout the United States is not uncommon.  As consumers we understand that companies are always trying to be competitive with their pricing, but we also know that they are generally trying to charge as much as they can for their products. Generally, this competition among these companies is open and transparent, which is designed to benefit the consumer with competitively lower prices. However, sometimes some companies conspire to falsely set prices or mislead consumers about supply of the competitively-priced product. That's where state and Federal antitrust laws come into play to make sure pricing is fair for consumers.

Maryland state-enforced antitrust laws , as well as Federal laws, are intended to discourage both collusion between companies  and certain certain mergers and acquisitions that could give one or more companies an unfair advantage in the consumer market.  Maryland's antitrust laws allow its residents to bring private lawsuits against companies, enforced by the Attornet General. In many case, plaintiffs can even recover their attorneys' fees, costs, and damages when the claims are successful

For answers to questions about unfair trade and price-fixing practices in Maryland , or for an initial courtesy consultation, contact the attorneys and counsellors at Charles Jerome Ware, LLC [ 410-730-5016 or 410-720-6129.

LEAD ADDITIVE RESIDENTIAL PAINT DEFENSES : Landlord Lead Defense Attorneys-- Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com " Here to make a Difference.  Maryland-based, Nationally-respected."

Although the use of lead additives in residential paint ended in the United States in 1978 when lead paint was banned for consumer use by the federal government.  Legacy (old) lead-based paint continues to be an issue in many pre-1978 constructed houses and apartments.

 Legacy lead paint residue also can exist in abundance in dust, soil, in the water we drink and use, and even in the air we breathe. Besides just pre-1978 constructed houses and apartments, the air we breathe, the water we drink and use, dust and soil,  residual leaded paint and other sources of toxic lead also can be found in work clothes, public and commercial buildings,  many foreign-made products, active and inactive factories and other industrial sites, food and drinks, hobbies, pipes and plumbing fixtures, cooking and eating utensils, jewelry and cosmetics, legacy leaded gasoline, etc.

To be sure, older 20th century homes in the United States are more likely to contain lead-based paint :
- Between 1960 and 1977, 24% of homes contained lead-based paint;
- Between 1940 and 1959, 69% of homes contained lead-based paint; and
- Before 1940, 87% of homes contained lead-based paint.

Development of the Lead Additive Paint Defense begins when the landowner or landlord
purchases the rental property.  Good maintenance of the rental property, adequate notice to tenants, and good record-keeping and/or documentation are paramount  to successful avoidance of, and prevailing in, lead additive paint claims and lawsuits.

THE LEAD PAINT DEFENSE ALGORITHM : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com  "Here to make a Difference. Maryland and D.C.-based, Nationally-respected." Charles Jerome Ware is a premier lead poisoning and lead paint defense attorney. For an initial courtesy consultation, contact him at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.

Unfortunately, our Federal government was very slow to act to stop the manufacture of lead for use in gasoline as well as an additive in paint, despite evidence long ago of human health dangers. Interior house lead-based paint was banned by Congress in 1970 but it was still available in the marketplace until it was banned by the Federal government in 1978. Another major contributor to public lead poisoning --- leaded gasoline --- was banned in the United States in 1976.  In contrast, and to their credit, the foreign nations of  France, Belgium  and Austria were restricting the use of lead-based paint in their countries by 1909. In 1922, the League of  Nations called for a complete ban on lead-based paint for indoor use. By 1934, the countries of Tunisia, Greece, Australia, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, Sweden, Belgium, Spain, Yugoslavia and Cuba had all restricted the use of lead paint.

Lead (Pb) does not just go away. This soft, malleable, useful, utilitarian, physically harmful (when inhaled or ingested), and heavy metal (Atomic Number 82) has a scientific "half-life" of over 500,000 years, does not dissolve in water, nor decay, nor dissipate, nor burn.   Lead just lasts, and lasts, and lasts. Lead is believed to have first been mined and used by societies and civilizations as early as 4,000 B.C. --- over 6,000 years ago. Its use has been prolific since then. Scientists and other researchers estimate there are billions of pounds and multi-millions of metric tons of lead currently
in the earth's environment.

Unfortunately for residential rental landlords in major metropolitan areas such as Baltimore and Washington, D.C., the vast majority of lead poisoning claims and lawsuits are being brought by  residential rental tenants living in pre-1978 built apartments and houses, against landlords alleging lead paint poisoning.  In reality, the truth is that
toxic lead is just about everywhere in these lead "hot spots", including : the air we breathe, the water we drink and use, the food and drink we ingest, the dust and soil around us, factories and other industrial work  sites (active and inactive), toys and furniture, jewelry and cosmetics, other buildings and products, foreign-made products, etc. In sum, there are many other sources of toxic lead poisoning than just lead paint in rental residences.

Baltimore Housing Demolition as Source of Ambient Lead Dust (Pb) : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com  " Here to make a Difference."

In Baltimore and elsewhere in the United States --- particularly since the year 2000 or so ---
urban redevelopment efforts have included the demolition of aging housing and other buildings.
Over 1.8 million U.S. housing units (houses and apartments) are believed to have been in the
decade of 2000 alone, many of which contained lead (Pb) in paint and dust. These older (legacy)
residential which contain lead paint have been of particular public health concern --- especially for children under the age of 6 who inhale or ingest leaded paint and dust.

Exterior dust is a public health concern in the Baltimore area --- and rightly so --- because it is a
pathway of ambient lead (Pb) exposure and a potential source of residential exposure by way of tracking , as well as  reacrosolization and redeposition.  In urban demolition of residential units, care must be taken to control related lead (Pb) deposition and to educate planners, contractors, and health and housing agencies. This is particularly important given the large numbers of aging U.S. dwellings that will be razed as part of future urban redevelopment.

Maryland Car Accident "Diminished Value" Tip

Overlooked property damage in a car accident can be a costly problem.

If your vehicle has was badly damaged in in the crash, and especially if it was relatively new, it may be that even after it is repaired your vehicle will be worth less than it was before it was damaged. The rational understanding here is that, as between two similar vehicles, a knowledgeable car buyer would pay less for the vehicle that has been badly damaged and subsequently repaired than she or he would pay for the vehicle that has not been as badly damaged.

In this particular situation, you may be able to prove to the car insurance company the  " diminished value " of your vehicle as part of your property damages claim.

Howard County Car Accident Reports : Maryland Personal Injury Update

www.charlesjeromeware.com     "Here to make a Difference.  Maryland-based, Nationally-respected."


Maryland is one of the most densely populated states in America, and it is a very popular tourist
destination with heavy motor vehicle traffic congestion.  Maryland hosts millions of people on
its roads every day.


While the state has a population of nearly 6 million people on its own, the metropolitan area of
Maryland and Washington, which directly impacts highway congestion, has a population in excess
of 8 million people. The Federal government, major biotechnology and defense contractor industries, as well as tourists visiting the area for its rich history, keep this relatively small geographic area's numerous roadways crowded.  Increasingly, this fact includes Howard County.  It is inevitable that car accidents and personal injuries happen.


When someone is injured in an accident in Howard County, specifically, and in Maryland, generally,
it is important to gather information about what happens next.  Being injured in a serious car crash is always a shocking and frightening experience, and dealing with the aftermath is exhausting and stressful.  Accident victims are forced to deal with hospitalization, medical treatments, lost work time, and lost income.


After your accident, it is crucial for you to get help from a Maryland personal injury attorney who understands the local laws and regulations, and proper protocols to handle your unfortunate situation.
If you are injured in a car accident, contact us for an initial courtesy consultation at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016.  We can help you.  We are Charles Jerome Ware, LLC; a premier  car accident and personal injury law firm.

DUI BREATHALYZER DEFENSE : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com    "Here to make a Difference."


The drunk driving ( or "DUI") breathalyzer is based on measuring breath alcohol of a driver.
However, it is scientifically established that no measurement is absolutely perfect. That fact is particularly true with DUI breathalyzer devices.


Whether measuring breath alcohol or a length of wood, variation in measurement is always present
[ Estimating the measurement uncertainty in forensic breath-alcohol analysis",  Accred. Qual. Assur., 11: 562 - 568 ].  Unavoidable fluctuations in process result in minute variations in measurements.


This does not mean that every DUI breathalyzer measurement is flawed or unreliable. However, this does prevent DUI defense counsel from attempting to amplify legitimately this genuine measurement uncertainty into reasonable doubt in drunk driving cases involving alcohol breath test devices or even blood tests.

WHAT LANDLORDS SHOULD DO WHEN SUED FOR LEAD POISONING: Lead Defense Attorneys Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com




The first thing I recommend a landlord should do when sued for lead paint poisoning is to immediately
find out if they have or had liability insurance coverage for the situation. As simple as this step may seem, like everything else associated with lead poisoning claims it is not simple.


While insurance companies routinely provided liability coverage for lead poisoning claims in the 1970s, 1980s, and part of the 1990s, thereafter coverage became much more difficult and  expensive. In fact, in many situations today insurance companies routinely exclude coverage for lead paint.


Important factors to find out in determining whether your insurance covered the claim are (i) to find out whether the child lived on the property (if possible); then, if so, (ii) when the child lived on the property (if possible); (iii) what was the age of the child at the time (allegedly); and (iv) when the child had elevated lead levels (if at all). In any event, CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE COVERED FOR THE CLAIM.


Next, contact a lead paint defense lawyer.

LEAD PAINT AND LANDLORD RESPONSIBILITIES : Lead Defense Attorneys Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com


In 1978, the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) enacted Federal legislation that banned toxic lead-based paint in consumer products. Lead paint, according to sources, however, can still be found in more than 24 million houses and apartment buildings.  Presumably, these houses and apartment buildings were constructed and lead painted before 1978.


Prior to renting the residential unit, the landlord must by law submit a written disclosure to prospective tenants detailing any known lead-cased paint on the property.  The landlord is also required to provide a pamphlet from the Federal government on lead poisoning prevention. The lease agreement must contain legally appropriate wording that warns of the presence of lead-based paint. If the property was built after 1978, the law does not require landlords to test for presence of lead-based paint.


If landlords want to renovate rental properties built before 1978, there are certain  laws they must
follow.  In 2010, Federal legislation known as the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, was enacted. Backed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it requires renovators to receive mandatory licensing in lead-based paint removal (lead abatement). In Maryland, for example, all lead abatement and similarly-situated workers and contractors must be certified by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE).


Landlords can face significant legal penalties if they fail to disclose the presence of lead-based in rental properties in many jurisdictions. It is required that landlords distribute the important EPA tenant lead notice pamphlet as well as use lawfully lead-certified workers on teir rental properties.

LANDLORD, LAW AND LEAD-BASED PAINT TIPS : Lead Defense Attorney Charles Jerome Ware, LLC

www.charlesjeromeware.com


Lead paint laws are prolific at local, state and federal levels throughout the United States. Residential rental landlords should be cognizant of these laws in their geographic areas of rental business.


Lead-based paint is cited by many health-related agencies as one of the top environmental threats to children in the United States.  Abnormally high levels of lead (Pb) can cause damage to the nervous system and cause other health problems, particularly in very young and developing children under the age of six. To compound the problem, lead is virtually everywhere in many urban residential communities such as Baltimore, Newark, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.


There are 3 general lead claim-prevention tips I recommend that landlords should follow when renting residential
units:  (1) diligently MAINTAIN the rental properties; (2) provide lawful NOTICE to all tenants in the rental properties; and (3) keep good RECORDS (tenant and property files) on both the tenants and the properties for at least 21 years.


Recognizing the health problems caused by lead poisoning, the Federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, commonly known as TITLE X (Title 10) was enacted in 1992. The law directed the U. S.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban (HUD) to write regulations specifying how Title 10's goal of lead hazard reduction should be accomplished. The regulations apply to rental property built before 1978.


The regulations specify, inter alia, that, prior to signing a lease or rental agreement, the landlord must give every new tenant the EPA pamphlet, Protect Your Family From Lead In your Home.  Both the landlord and the tenant must sign an EPA-approved form, Disclosure on Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards, that will prove that the landlord informed the tenents about any known lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards.  The landlord must keep the executed disclosure form as part of his or her records (tenant file, etc.) for at least 3 years from the date of the start of the tenancy.

It should not be forgotten that, besides lead paint in pre-1978 built apartments and houses, etc., legacy (old) toxic lead in Baltimore inner-city soils also pose appreciable health hazards for the human body, particularly in children up to age 6 who ingest or inhale these soils (and dust).

Toxic lead in inner-city Baltimore soils poses health hazards for the human body; particularly for children up to age 6 who inhale or ingest these affected soils.

This conclusion came from a group of researchers who took soil samples which were randomly collected from 422 vegetable gardens in a study area centered in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.  The radius of the study area was 48.28 kilometers (30 miles).  The levels of lead (Pb), 4 other metals (cadmium, copper, nickel and zinc), and pH (acidity and alkalinity) were measured for each location. The levels of lead in the soil in inner-city Baltimore registered higher on a consistent basis than levels in outlying Baltimore communities.

The Baltimore Sun newspaper recently featured a front page article on the continuing lead paint poisoning issues in the city, as well as new efforts by community groups, officials, etc., seeking reparations, restitution, damages, etc., from major lead paint manufacturers whose lead-based paint was sold and used in Baltimore housing prior to being banned by Baltimore in 1951 and 1966, as well as by the Federal government  in 1978 [ " SEEKING PAYBACK", by Luke Broadwater, Sunday Edition, February 28, 2016 ].


The article is worth the read, particularly since it indicates what some of us have been saying for years: that the lead poisoning problem is larger than just  slumlords, negligent renters, and lazy government officials. At its lead paint source, a huge problem comes from big-money making paint manufacturers who aggressively sold toxic lead-based paint long after they knew or should have known of the harmful effects of the product when inhaled or ingested by humans; and in particular, by children under the age of six.
