The Maryland Coalition to End Childhood [Lead] Poisoning-managed Lead/Land "Qualified Offer" program, in conjunction with the Maryland Department of the Environment, was a noble and good-faith effort to provide remedial assistance and services to child victims as well as their families of lead poisoning. The program also was designed to bypass the tort liability system.
Unfortunately, the Lead/Land program failed. It failed, it appears, principally because of a lack of participation by landlords and landowners, despite its advantages to all parties involved.
Besides the relatively minimal pay-outs or payments of landlords and landowners to the victims, as well as the important limiting of lead(Pb) exposures to children, the program gave appropriate limited liability to landlords and property owners who responsibly participated in it.
