Baltimore has a lead (Pb) problem. And, it has had a lead problem for a number of years because of the frequent use of lead for industrial, residential, and other commercial purposes. Lead has a long life-span; therefore, it can hang around in buildings, ground and the air for a long time.
Excessive exposure to lead-base paint and lead-tainted water, for example, can lead to serious health problems, particularly in children up to about age 6 or 7. Brain damage, attention disorders and hyperactivity have all been associated with lead poisoning. Landlords who are found responsible for lead poisoning may face liability for a child's life-long disability. Jury awrds and settlements for lead poisoning are typically enormous, because they can cover remedial treatment and education of a child for the rest of his or her life, and include an award for the estimated "loss of earning" capacity caused by the injury. The cost of a typical "slip and fall" injury pales in comparison to some of the multi-million dollar injury awards and settlements for lead poisoning cases.
If you are a landlord or owner who is being sued for lead-based paint poisoning, we encourage you to contact us for a free initial defense consultation at (410) 720-6129 or (410) 730-5016. We can help you.
