Did you know that almost every home built before 1978 in the U.S. contains some level of lead-based paint that is in excess of the levels mandated by the Federal government? In fact, over the last decade alone, Buffalo area property owners have been inundated with lead paint lawsuits.
But fighting a lead paint lawsuit is a difficult and uphill battle. That’s because, under New York State law, the statute of limitations for an infant does not begin to run until he or she has reaches the age of 18. As a result, numerous claims are delayed for years before homeowners are made aware there was a problem or that a potential lawsuit was going to be filed. It is therefore important to recreate everything relative to the rental or ownership of the property pertaining to the specific plaintiff bringing the claim and to thoroughly investigate all of the circumstances that resulted from the alleged exposure to lead paint at your property.
At Bouvier Partnership, LLP, we have unique experience in the defense of these lawsuits on behalf of homeowners. We understand how difficult it can be to try to recreate circumstances that occurred many years prior. But we will work closely with you to develop the best defense possible on the issue of negligence, as well as to contest any allegations of injuries that follow a claim of lead paint poisoning.
