Attorney Eric Castelblanco on the dangers posed to children by apartments with lead paint.
The landlord may be responsible for lead poisoning if they knew about its presence on their property and did not take reasonable steps to eliminate it or warn their tenants about the potential risks. If your apartment building was built before 1978, it is very likely that there is lead-based paint. It was in this year that the federal government banned the use of lead-based paint. If your landlord does not take the necessary steps to address the hazards that the presence of lead in their property may cause, they may be held liable for any injuries caused by lead poisoning.
Lead poisoning occurs when it accumulates in the body, often over months or years. Even small amounts of lead can cause serious health problems. Children under 6 years old are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can severely affect physical and mental development. At very high levels, lead poisoning can be fatal. Children can get lead into their bodies by breathing or swallowing lead dust, as well as by eating soil or paint chips containing lead. Doctors say that no level of lead in the blood is safe. Symptoms that children may present include developmental delays, learning difficulties, irritability, fatigue, and hearing loss. If you or your children experience symptoms of lead poisoning, seek medical attention immediately.
