Lead Exposure in Families – Legal Help for New Jersey and New York Residents

Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich – Toxic Tort and Environmental Injury Lawyers

At Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich, we represent families in New Jersey and New York who have been harmed by lead exposure in their homes, schools, or communities. Lead is a powerful neurotoxin that can cause irreversible damage—especially to children. If your family has been exposed to lead through paint, pipes, soil, or drinking water, Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich is here to fight for your right to compensation.

The Serious Dangers of Lead ExposureLead poisoning is one of the most dangerous and preventable environmental health threats. Children are especially vulnerable because their bodies absorb lead more easily, and even small amounts can cause lasting harm. Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich understands the science behind lead exposure and how it can devastate a child’s development. Medical impacts can include:
  • Reduced IQ and attention span
  • Learning disabilities and developmental delays
  • Behavioral issues such as aggression and hyperactivity
  • Hearing loss and speech problems
  • Slowed physical growth and poor coordination

Adults exposed to lead can also suffer serious health issues, including high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction, and reproductive problems. Pregnant women are at particular risk, as lead can pass through the placenta and harm the unborn child.

New Jersey’s Lead Testing Law and Real Estate Concerns

In response to widespread public health concerns, New Jersey recently enacted a law requiring lead paint inspections in residential rental properties built before 1978. This law is a major step forward—but many families remain unaware of hidden dangers in their homes. Whether it’s lead-based paint, contaminated soil, or outdated plumbing, the risks are real—and Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich can help you hold negligent landlords, property sellers, and government entities accountable.

Lead contamination can also severely affect real estate values. Homes and apartments with unresolved lead hazards can lose value, become uninhabitable, or face costly abatement demands. If your property has been devalued or if your family has been forced to relocate due to lead contamination, Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich may be able to help you recover financial damages.
