Catastrophic permanent brain damage from lead paint poisoning of young child

$500,000

A toddler lived with her grandmother in a leased apartment. After the child had routine lead tests at her pediatric appointments, an alarming high level result came back. The grandmother was advised to get an attorney as the girl’s level was 34. Attorney paid the doctor’s for their time in writing a special report linking the prolonged exposure to high levels of lead paint to poisoning and permanent loss of IQ and cognitive deficits. The insurance carrier for the owners offered their full policy limits in the mid six figure range, but Attorney Goodman demanded that the monies be put in a specialized structured settlement that would go up a little each year beginning at age 18 and then pay lump sums at various future ages, giving her a total tax free net payout of over one million dollars over her lifetime. They stay in touch with Attorney Goodman and report that the child enjoys summer camp and is going well in regular classes at school and progressing according to her age. She takes some medication for her attention deficit disorder that was caused by the lead exposure.
