Lead Poisoning Case - Plaintiff settled a case involving childhood lead poisoning at a mediation, for the sum of $1,300,000. This case involved a young girl who sustained lead poisoning from ingesting lead-based paint that was peeling and chipping from the walls of two apartments in Brooklyn, where her uncle and maternal grandparents lived. The settlement was paid by the two insurance carriers for the two building owners. The settlement will provide substantial payments to the child when she turns 18, and is greater than any reported sustained verdicts for lead poisoning cases in Brooklyn.
