Do I Have a Case?

If you have suffered a serious injury or wrongful death due to someone else's fault in causing an accident, or due to medical malpractice, a defective product or drug, police brutality or any other form of negligence, you have a right to sue for damages for your pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as past and future lost earnings, loss of support, medical bills and any other economic damages you sustain.

Immediate investigation of your case could make the difference between winning and losing. Evidence, records and witnesses can disappear, and critical evidence can be lost.
Some claims must be made within 30-days.

Call us for a free consultation as soon as you can, because time is of the essence.

What to do after an accident

Seek medical attention immediately- victims are often unaware of the extent of their injuries due to shock.

Get information identifying the person that caused the accident and any witnesses and write it down.

Take pictures (with your cell phone if necessary) to document the accident and your injuries.

Write your own account of the accident while it is fresh in your memory and list contact information for any witnesses.

Do not give any verbal or written statements to investigators or insurance companies.

Do not sign any documents offered by insurance adjusters. You could be signing away your rights to receive full compensation.

Contact the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter as soon as you can, so that we can conduct an immediate investigation and file whatever papers are needed to protect your legal rights. A prompt investigation could make the difference between winning and losing your case, so do not delay.

New York Injury Accident Lawyer : Lead Paint/Poisoning

Lead Paint/Poisoning

New York Lead Poisoning Attorney

Lead paint poisoning continues to be a hazard to many New York residents, especially to those living in older buildings where lead-based paint is likely to have been used.  Although lead paint has been banned in New York State, many landlords have failed to renovate buildings or remove this toxic substance from living quarters. The majority of lead poisoning victims are children, and even more specifically, children under six years old. If you or your child has been exposed to or poisoned by toxic lead paint, you may be eligible to recover damages for your illness or injuries. Attorney Jonathan C. Reiter has over 30 years of experience representing victims of lead paint poisoning throughout New York, and can help you file an injury claim against negligent landlords.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York Department of Health, a child is considered to have lead poisoning if he or she has 10µg/dl (micrograms per deciliter) of lead in his or her bloodstream. It can be very difficult, if not impossible, to detect lead poisoning without medical assistance. However, there are some warning signs that could indicate lead poisoning in the body. These signs include:

  • Abnormal weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Constipation
  • Problems sleeping
  • Reduced ability to focus or pay attention
  • Persistent fatigue, tiredness, or hyperactivity
  • Irritability

 

Exposure to toxic lead paint is incredibility damaging, especially in young children. No amount of lead in the body is a safe amount. When a child is exposed to even just a tiny amount of lead-based paint, it can lead to a variety of serious health effects. Even more troubling, exposure to toxic lead paint can cause irreversible damage that may not appear until many years later. Children are the most vulnerable to lead poisoning and may suffer from:

  • Neurological damage
  • Irreversible brain damage
  • Impaired mental functioning or development
  • Decreased IQ or intelligence
  • Learning disabilities
  • Short-term memory loss
  • Kidney failure
  • Growth retardation
  • Behavioral problems
  • Reduced attention span
  • Seizures
  • Coma
  • Death

 

Adults exposed to toxic lead paint can also suffer from adverse health effects, including: 

  • Fertility or reproductive problems
  • Nerve damage or disorders
  • Joint or muscle pain
  • Poor coordination or control over the body
  • Problems with concentration, memory, and retention
  • Irritability
  • High blood pressure
