If I sublease a condominium or cooperative apartment, who is legally responsible for the presence of the lead based paint and the damages sustained by my lead poisoned child?
As in all cases involving childhood lead poisoning caused by lead based paint or lead contaminated dust, this is a complex question and the lawyer will have to examine all of the facts and circumstances to make such a determination. The condominium or cooperative corporation, the managing agent, the lessor and in some cases other parties involved may be held liable for their negligence.
