 MARYLAND WRONGFUL TERMINATION FRAUD, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS OR
                                      OTHER  TORT  CLAIMS  

   Other possible exceptions to termination "at-will" in Maryland, depending on the circumstances,
   are "tort" (personal injury) claims or lawsuits for wrongful termination. These actions are not well-   known.  For instance, Maryland may allow fired employees to sue employers for fraud, violation of public policy, infliction of emotional distress, or other personal injuries.

    As to which types of claims (if any) an employee can bring depends on decisions by state court
   judges, which means that the rules are always developing and changing. Consider these options in
   your particular case.

                               QUESTIONING  CAUSATION FOR THE LEAD POISONING :

Some basic changes are slowly evolving in the legal and medical area of lead paint exposure litigation. One of them is the issue of causation.

Some courts throughout the country are beginning to recognize that lead paint defendant landlords should still have the right to question and challenge the question of causation for the plaintiffs' injuries, and thereby either avoid liability or at least mitigate the landlords' damages; even in cases where there is ample evidence of lead exposure and the defendant landlord had actual or constructive notice of the lead exposure condition  [see, Cunningham v. Anderson, 84 A.D.3d 1370, 1372 (3d Dept. 2011);  Watson v. Priore , Oneida Co., N. Y. (2011)].

Further, there is growing observance among courts that other factors such as socioeconomic data, family history, and heredity play a role in a child's neuropsychological develop, and that evidence of these factors is relevant and admissible in court.
