Fontana Toxic Mold Lawyer

Toxic mold exposure, sometimes referred to as sick building syndrome (SBS), is a result of an aggressive invasion of certain types of mold. While there are tens of thousands of different types of molds, the majority of them do not make people sick. However, Penicillium, Fusarium, and Stachybotrys, also referred to as black mold, are incredibly toxic for humans. Toxic mold is not just an issue among homeowners. It can develop in any building, such as schools, college residences, senior care centers, churches, warehouses, and offices. Mold thrives in damp areas, and it does not require light to grow. It develops quickly on insulation, drywall, paper, and wood. If you have suffered harm after being exposed to mold, you can file a claim against the liable party. Our Fontana toxic mold lawyer can help you do it.

There are many steps you can take to strengthen your liability claim after being exposed to toxic mold exposure. These include:

• Take pictures: Take photos and video footage of any presence of mold you were exposed to.
• Seek medical treatment: If you start feeling sick, visit a doctor and obtain copies of your medical records that indicate your symptoms are due to mold exposure.
• Retain records of all communication: If you send emails or text messages to a landlord, property manager, or contractor regarding the mold issue, keep copies of all documentation. If you speak to someone on the phone, make a note of the date, time, name of the person you spoke to, and what was said.
• Contact an attorney: It is never recommended that you file a claim on your own. A toxic mold attorney in Fontana can evaluate your case and help you obtain the full compensation you deserve.

Every case of toxic mold exposure is unique, and it is not always easy to determine who is liable for paying damages. There are many parties who could be to blame for exposure to toxic mold. Landlords, property owners, contractors, property management companies, and builders could all be responsible if they acted negligently and failed to address mold issues or did not address them properly. It is critical to work with an attorney who will conduct an investigation to determine who is liable. A lawyer can also help you claim full damages, which may include:

• Medical bills for any treatment related to mold exposure
• Lost wages, if an illness prevented you from returning to work right away
• Property damage, for the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property
• Pain and suffering, if exposure caused you physical pain or discomfort or mental anguish
