Lead Poisoning

Lead Poisoning Attorneys

Providing effective legal advocacy to the victims and families of lead poisoning in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and throughout New York

Lead poisoning caused by lead paint is a serious problem in many older apartment buildings in New York City, especially for children who can suffer lifelong learning disabilities and other health problems as a result of lead exposure. If your child has been tested and found to have lead levels of ten micrograms per deciliter or higher, you should contact the lead poison lawyers at The Orlow Firm immediately. Our firm has experience representing victims of lead poisoning at multi-family dwellings throughout the New York City area, including The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.

Lead typically comes from paint used in a home constructed prior to 1978, when laws were enacted to ban lead-based paint in NY and elsewhere. Lead can get into water, food, and the air you breathe to cause all sorts of health problems. Particularly in children under six years of age, lead poisoning can cause everything from respiratory problems, kidney damage, hearing loss, growth and development problems, and even brain damage. Especially if you have children, it is imperative that you prevent lead poisoning at all costs.

Fee Arrangement

At The Orlow Firm, we take all cases on a "contingent fee" basis. A contingent fee basis means that the attorneys are paid only at the time when, and if, they recover money damages for the client. A contingent fee thereby allows an injured person with little or no financial resources to obtain competent legal assistance. At the time recovery is obtained, the attorneys’ fee is a percentage of the award in the case. If there is no recovery, there will be no attorneys’ fees.*

Free consultation: If you have recently suffered an injury or wonder if you have a legal claim after being exposed to lead paint, contact our qualified and experienced lawyers to schedule a free consultation.

We will come to you if you cannot come to us.
