Causation Re-visited in Recent Lead Poisoning Cases:
Courts have recently begun to re-visit the issue of causation and recognize that a lead poisoning defendant landlord still has the right to question causation and thereby escape liability or mitigate his or her damages, even where there is evidence of lead exposure and the defendant landlord had actual or constructive notice of the lead exposure.
For instance, a landlord who has been negligent in dealing with lead hazards presented by paint is clearly entitled to challenge causation by showing that the(infant) plaintiff ingested other lead-containing substances during the relevant time period.
