What a lead case can involve
The Frankel Law Firm has been helping victims of lead poisoning and serious personal injuries for more than 40 years, and we are proud of that legacy. What a child’s case is worth depends on the facts, and anyone who quotes a number before they know those facts is guessing. Please call for a free consultation. The firm can talk about what a case of this kind can include. There is no fee to speak to us or for us to evaluate your potential case.
What families ask about
Parents ask about medical care, school help, a child who cannot pay attention, and a future that is still unfolding. Lead exposure can require lifelong medical monitoring. The cost of that care depends on the child and the facts; we do not put a price tag on it here.
A recovery, if there is one, depends on the facts, the law, and decisions by the court, a jury, or the other side. A filed case can be dismissed, settled, or tried. Some announced matters ended before trial or in private mediation. That is not a schedule for your case.
Past lead recoveries
We have recovered many millions of dollars for victims of lead poisoning. These are dated announcements of past results — not a prediction for any other case. Children are not named because the announcements did not name them.
