Lead poisoning is a serious and often preventable condition that can cause long-lasting health issues, especially in children. In New York City, older buildings and apartments may still contain lead paint or other sources of lead exposure, putting tenants and workers at risk.

At Personal Injury NYC, our experienced lead poisoning attorneys are ready to help you hold negligent landlords, contractors, or property owners accountable and secure the compensation you need for medical care, rehabilitation, and more.
