Mold Litigation Services
One of the biggest threats to building structures is mold. This is true, whether it is a home or commercial building. Mold, which is a fungus, can be toxic and cause personal health problems, some of which are very serious. It can also cause physical damage to a home, building or property of any type. Fortunately, it is possible to receive compensation for personal and financial losses that come as a result of mold infestation, in some cases.
It may be possible to go after the builder if there is proof that he or she did not take the proper measures to stop the intrusion of water during the building process or because the way the structure was built. Water often enters a property and leads to mold via drainage, piping or roofing. Owners of a home or building may be able to be held liable if they do not make those repairs necessary to keep out water and moisture or anything which might lead to the development of mold. They might also be liable if they have failed to get rid of existing mold. Those harmed may be eligible to receive monies to repair the physical damage caused by the mold and to cover medical costs for personal health problems related to the mold.
If you have purchased a home or building that is infested with mold, you may have a legal standing for suit and compensation. Contact us today and we can help you determine what steps need to be taken and when. If you would like to get the process started, please do the following.
Grab A Camera: Use a quality camera and take pictures of the mold and also any water damaged parts of the building. Make sure that you get close-up pictures and then a few further away to get a complete view of the damage.
Inventory Your Losses: If you have had any property damaged due to the mold, make an inventory of it. Also, if you have been forced out of your home, building, place of employment (wherever the mold exists) and have had to pay out additional expenses because of this, write this information down as well.
Have the Home or Building Tested: This is extremely important because it will determine what type of mold infestation has occurred and to what extent. Mold tests to perform include air sampling, dust sampling and swab sampling.
Document All Correspondence: Any contact made between you and the individual/company you believe is responsible for the mold needs to be documented and kept in a safe place.
Visit Your Doctor: Talk to your doctor about your concerns. Ask him or her to perform the following tests, allergy/immunology, VCS testing, blood testing and neuro-psychological. You may want to hold off on these tests if they will be a financial hardship until after you determine whether or not you have a case. Give us a call and we can help you in this regard.
Contact Us: Once you have done the above and verified that you do have mold in your home, place of business or at work, give us a call for a consultation.
