Q: What type of case would it be if I were trying to sue the school for breaking the law involving lead contmination?
They have not posted anything relating to the remediation results on their last testing in 2020. We also have many different faucets that were not over the lead limit as of 2020, but as of December 2021, 47% of our faucets are over the lead limit. Just wondering what type of case this would be and what would be the best way to go about it.
A: Depending on who is affected, it could be an environmental matter, toxic tort matter, occupational health & safety matter, or other. It sounds like it could be a complex setting - possibly involving sampling, lab analysis, and investigation of all possible sources. Best way to go about it? A starting point could be to reach out to attorneys - toxic tort and environmental firms have their criteria for taking on cases, (they're not cookie-cutter cases) which is something that would need to be discussed with them. Good luck
