Morgantown Lead Paint Injury Attorney

Although interior paint containing lead pigment has been outlawed in the United States for more than 50 years, a significant number of older buildings, including schools, day care centers and businesses continue to have it in their rooms and on pipes exposed to the public. Federal and state laws mandate that the property owners or landlords must remove any lead paint remaining in their buildings, yet many have not yet acted in accordance with the law. In addition to current problems the lead paint continues cause for children in contact with lead paint, many older adults suffer the medical consequences of exposure to it from their childhood.
