Structured Settlement Won for Lead Poisoned Child

A Buffalo landlord's insurance company agreed to pay a structured settlement for a 5 year old boy who suffered lead poisoning from deteriorated lead-based paint at a Wilkes Avenue apartment where he lived as a toddler. The young boy's high lead levels required several hospitalizations for chelation treatment. The settlement funds have been put into a structured settlement trust account for the boy. These funds will provide him with a guaranteed lifelong income. That income will help with the expected academic and functional disabilities he will face due to the severe lead poisoning. The attorneys at Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC were happy to serve this child and achieve this settlement on his behalf.
