Lead Paint Poisoning

No lead paint poisoning case should be overlooked

Lead-paint exposure primarily comes from paint used in housing. Children are at a greater risk of lead poisoning because their bodies absorb up to 50 percent of the lead they ingest, while adults' bodies absorb only 10 percent. Children who ingest lead paint chips or dust may face serious developmental delays. Lead-paint poisoning can turn a Maine resident's life upside-down. But your rights are firmly rooted in the law. Turn to an experienced attorney for guidance.

Here in Maine - in towns, cities, and rural areas alike - we have many structures built prior to 1950. In any of these buildings, lead paint likely is present.

A landlord, an employer, or a contractor may negligently allow lead paint dust and chips get into the living space and may be liable for any subsequent injuries. The landlord, employer or contractor may have negligently allowed the exposure through inadequate warning or improper maintenance and disposal practices.

Any of the following conditions caused by landlord, employer, contractor or someone else's negligence may cause lead paint dust and chips to get into a living space:

Exposure is linked to reduced intelligence, learning disabilities, low graduation rates and criminal activity. Too many preschoolers are exposed every year, leaving them with difficulties that will affect the rest of their lives.
