The Lipsig Law Firm secured an $18 million damages award against the owner of a residential building in Far Rockaway, Queens, arising from severe lead poisoning suffered by a child who was exposed to chipping and peeling lead paint and paint dust in his apartment at the age of two.

The building was constructed during a period when lead based paint was commonly used, and hazardous conditions were allowed to persist.

The Lipsig Law Firm successfully concluded a jury trial and won a $43 million verdict for our client from a Brooklyn jury. Our client was severely hurt when he fell from the roof of a luxury apartment building in Williamsburg Brooklyn while attending a party.
Our client asked the party’s host to use a bathroom. Since there was no bathroom on the roof, the host gave him an empty Gatorade bottle and told him to go to a more private spot and relieve himself. He walked to the edge of the roof and climbed up on the parapet wall, thinking in the darkness there was no gap between that building and one next door. There was actually a 2-1/2-foot gap between the buildings.

The legal issue in the case hinged on a 1968 city law that requires a 10-foot-high fence around the edge of any rooftop used for recreation. The section where our client fell did not have such a fence. After the accident, the building attached wooden 2-by-4s to the top of the parapet as a safety barrier.
