Poisonings / toxicity

Our attorneys will demand justice for victims of child poisoning.

Adults can read warning labels or other printed information on a toxic substance. Those labels are unlikely to prevent children, who run a greater risk than adults of being poisoned, from handling or consuming a toxic substance. Another factor that raises risks for children is their small body masses. Their bodies are more severely affected by toxins once they enter the blood stream when ingested or inhaled. A child's age or size may have little bearing on a toxin that affects the skin, such as a chemical burn.

• Lead paint
• Food allergies
• Pharmaceutical liability

Lead paint poses a well-known poisoning danger, but equally important among household substances are pesticides, household cleaners, and medicine. If your child was poisoned or hospitalized from exposure to a toxin due to the negligence of a maintenance crew, a medical error, or other event, we can help you determine the best legal options.

A childhood injury may have occurred several years ago, but that is a small amount of time compared to your child's lifetime of coping with the effects. New York law allows for an extended period of recovery for damages as the statutes of limitations on an injury to a child may not begin to be tolled until that child turns 18.
