Virginia defective products can sometimes contain toxins that can cause serious damage to you or your family’s health. Today, Parrish Law Firm, PLLC takes a look at a common toxin that could be found in defective products: lead.

The Facts

  • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 4 million households are being exposed to lead.
  • Around 1.5 million children ages 1-5 have blood lead levels higher than the CDC recommended safe level
  • Children under the age of 6 are most at risk of lead exposure.
  • Lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust are the most common sources of lead poisoning; lead-based paint has been found in some children’s toys.

Prevention Tips

  • Regularly wash children’s hands and toys.
  • Pay attention to product recalls. Companies may discover a toxin in their product after it hits the shelves and advise the consumer to return or dispose of the item.
  • Avoid using cosmetics that may contain lead.
  • Wet-mop floors on a regular basis. Household dust is a major source of lead, and regular dusting and mopping can make sure the dust does not accumulate.

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
