Compton Toxic Mold Lawyer

Toxic mold on a property can cause many health issues, including damage to major organs. If you have been hurt by exposure to toxic mold, you may not only experience physical harm, but you may also incur many costs for medical treatment. Another party may be liable for paying damages that can help cover these costs and compensate you for the pain and suffering you have experienced. Our Compton toxic mold lawyer can determine who is responsible for the exposure and ensure your rights are protected.

It is not uncommon for mold and mold spores to develop in homes and other structures. Over 100,000 species of mold have been identified, and most of these do not pose any danger to a person’s health and safety. Toxic mold, on the other hand, such as black mold, is dangerous and can result in serious health issues. Symptoms of exposure to toxic mold are as follows:

• Bloody nose
• Cold and flu-like symptoms
• Allergies
• Headaches
• Asthma
• Skin rashes and irritation
• Chest pain
• Joint pain
• Pneumonia
• Liver disorders
• Lung damage

If you or someone you love develops the above symptoms and they are unexplained, it is important to seek medical attention.

It is natural to assume that if toxic mold has developed in your home, no one else is liable for its growth. This is not always true. Your homeowners’ insurance policy may cover mold development and the cost of repair. If your insurance company claims that toxic mold is not covered under your policy, it may be important to speak to an attorney who can determine if they are acting in bad faith. In addition to your insurance carrier, there are other parties that may also be liable for toxic mold. These include:

• A builder or contractor who did not perform their job properly or failed to install sufficient ventilation,
• A negligent architect or engineer who failed to include important elements in the design that would prevent mold growth,
• Previous owner who failed to disclose the presence of mold, and
• A condominium association that failed to correct a condition that caused mold development in a common area.

Under the implied warranty of habitability, landlords have a legal obligation to maintain rental units and ensure they are free of health risks, including mold infestation. Our Compton toxic mold attorney can determine if your landlord is liable for the development of mold and guide you through the steps to file a claim against them for damages.
