NYC Lead Poisoning Lawyers

Children are often the first victims of lead poisoning in NYC. This is because they are still developing, making them especially susceptible to the effects of lead in the system. Lead poisoning can cause growth defects, organ and tissue injuries, and even brain damage.

Many children who get lead poisoning in their NYC homes get it from flakes of lead-based paint. Although outlawed in 1978, many older homes still contain small to significant levels of the paint. When it flakes off, children often ingest the pieces, causing them harm in many ways. Lead can lead to lifelong learning disabilities as well as bodily injuries.

Obtaining NYC Lead Poisoning Lawyers for Children's Sake
To find out if your child has been the victim of lead poisoning, you must have him or her tested. A simple "prick" blood test will usually indicate the level of lead in the body. If your child has levels that are more than 10 micrograms per deciliter of blood, our lawyers at ORLOW, ORLOW & ORLOW, P.C. feel you probably have a valid case that should be pursued.
