Young children can be poisoned by lead paint when they live in a home with flaking and peeling lead based paint. Even though lead paint is no longer on the market, when landlords paint over it, lead remains in the layers of paint underneath. It can be present in any house or apartment built prior to 1978. It is sad that landlords fail to completely strip the walls before repainting, leaving this hazard in place. When this hazard is present, and your child is suffering as a result, that’s when it’s time to call Queens Lead Poisoning Attorneys Wittenstein & Wittenstein.
Childhood lead poisoning can occur whenever young children live and play in an environment contaminated by flaking and peeling lead-based paint. Unfortunately, lead poisoning remains a serious public health problem in old urban centers, where most homes were built before 1978, when lead paint was widely used on interior and exterior surfaces. Although lead paint is no longer used in residential housing, it still presents a serious hazard, especially when newer layers of paint peel or flake, exposing old painted surfaces. Too often, absentee landlords ignore dangerous paint conditions even when they know that deteriorated paint surfaces endanger their tenants’ children.

Sometimes they think they have a great case, and call every personal injury attorney in town, only to have their case declined time and time again. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, which means that they must invest money and resources in each case they take, and turn down those cases that they will believe will result in a loss. They promise "no fee unless we win," and can't expect to stay in practice if they take too many cases they might lose. There are some personal injury attorneys that will handle riskier matters such as some types of employment discrimination cases, [...]

Kushner Hit with Lawsuits over Williamsburg, Brooklyn Development
I grew up with many stories about Williamsburg, Brooklyn, my father's hometown. Whenever I complained about just about anything, his response would be, "at least you didn't grow up in Williamsburg." I thought it was literally the worst place on Earth, with flies swarming around manure. Actually, when he was growing up, in the 1930's the streets actually were full of dung and swarming flies, as cars were still a luxury in poor neighborhoods. In fact, the legend goes, my grandfather had a stable business, that was losing ground to cars, so he became a taxi driver, in Williamsburg, where his family of seven lived in a 2 room apartment and all shared one pint [...]
