Torts — Lead paint — Sufficiency of the evidence

Skylar and Adrianna Murphy filed suit in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, alleging that they suffered injuries from exposure to lead-based paint at an apartment where they resided during the early 1990s. The court granted summary judgment in favor of one of the defendants, Louis F. Ellison, on the ground that the Murphys had failed to produce evidence of any lead-based paint hazards at the property. The Murphys dismissed the remaining defendants and noted an appeal.
