Miss. Supreme Court To Hear Lead Paint Liability Appeal

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006 Liability Litigation

The Mississippi Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal of a mother and son who lost a lawsuit that claimed Sherwin Williams Co. was responsible for the lead paint that made the boy sick. The suit was filed in 2000 in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Shermeker Pollard of Fayette on behalf of herself and her son, Trellvion Gaines, who was then 9. The issue before the Supreme Court is whether Gaines and Pollard waited too long to file their lawsuit. There is no timetable for the justices to decide the case.
