Lead Poisoning Attorneys — Protecting Children, Holding Landlords Accountable

Exposure to lead paint can have devastating and permanent effects on a child’s health. Even low levels of lead can cause cognitive delays, learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and emotional regulation problems. These effects are often irreversible—and tragically preventable.

Young children are especially vulnerable because they are more likely to ingest lead paint dust or chips from windowsills, walls, or floors—especially in older rental properties where landlords have failed to maintain safe conditions.

Lead Paint Exposure in the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier

Many homes and apartments in our region were built before 1950, during a time when lead-based paint was widely used. Under New York law, property owners have a legal responsibility to protect tenants—especially children—from lead hazards. That includes taking proper steps during renovations, paint removal, and routine maintenance.

If your child was diagnosed with elevated blood lead levels, it’s critical to speak with a lead poisoning attorney as soon as possible. Early legal intervention helps preserve evidence and can make all the difference in recovering compensation to support your child’s future.
