Being unfamiliar with key insurance issues
It is essential to have a complete understanding of insurance coverage issues relating to lead poisoning. Many attorneys without this knowledge pursue cases in which coverage is not available and in other cases do not pursue coverage that is available. This results in spending a lot of money on cases with little likelihood of recovery or settling a case for substantially less than the available insurance coverage.

Not associating with an experienced child lead poisoning lawyer
Lawyers who decide to learn as they litigate usually end up destroying their client’s case before they attempt to associate with an experienced child lead poisoning lawyer. Most lawyers will do a better job for their client and themselves by either referring the case out to an experienced lawyer or associating with that lawyer before suit is filed.
