Toxic Mold Lawsuit

If you have been exposed to toxic mold in your home or in the workplace, you may consider filing a toxic mold lawsuit against those responsible for your illness, structural damages, and remediation costs. People who could be responsible in a toxic mold lawsuit include contractors and subcontractors, architects or structural engineers, material suppliers and manufacturers, previous homeowners, or employers.

A toxic mold lawsuit can include compensation for many different damages. First there may be medical testing and treatments if you have suffered an illness because of a toxic mold problem at your home or place of work. Also, water and mold can cause serious structural damage in a home or commercial building. You home could have property damage including the cost of fixing, removing or replacing structural elements such as walls, windows, moldings, ceiling tiles, and floors. In addition, it is possible that infected ventilation systems will have to be professionally cleaned or replaced because mold remaining in the system can use the system itself as a gateway to all rooms within the structure.

In a toxic mold lawsuit there are a couple of theories of liability:

- Negligence is the most common is described as the failure of a responsible party to work with the degree of care that a reasonable person would use under the same or similar situation. An example of this could be if a contractor failed to use reasonable care in sealing the moisture out of your home. As a result, mold infested which caused you and your family to get sick, have structural damage, and excessive clean-up costs.

- Many states have statutes that require builders and architects to warrant their work for a specified period of time. If your home or commercial building suffers from a mold infestation problem because of faulty workmanship, you may have a warranty claim.

- Most states require previous owners to disclose material facts that affect the value or desirability of the property they are selling. If a previous owner knew of a potential mold problem and failed to tell the potential buyer, there may be a failure-to-disclose claim.
