Effects of Mold Damage

Not all mold is toxic. While it isn't poisonous, some types emit toxins. Two types, Stachybotrys Chartarum, and toxigenic Aspergillus are harmful to humans. A mold attorney and mold remediation company often recognize these types of mold as toxic mold. These molds can lead to various health issues and reactions.

​

“Black mold” is typically Stachybotrys chartarum, and usually appears as black or dark green.  It thrives on materials like drywall and carpet, producing spores that are released into the air. Symptoms of a reaction include: 

  • Chronic sneezing and coughing

  • Irritable eyes

  • Irritation of the nasal and throat mucous membranes

  • Chronic fatigue 

  • Frequent headaches

I need the insurance company to pay for my mold damage.
What do I Do?

Recovering damages from mold is a multi-step process.  The level of the mold reaction and the costs associated with medical treatment and property repairs are included in the amount of damages. Oftentimes, recoverable damages are noted as compensatory damages. Compensation may be provided for losses including medical bills, home repairs, and pain and suffering.

​

There is a level of difficulty in recovering damages for toxic mold issues. For example, your doctor may dispute any possible connection between your state of health and mold exposure, making it hard to prove injury. Most insurance companies don't offer mold damage coverage, so an attorney will be helpful in ensuring a solution for your home and needs. Mold damage is a specialized area of expertise within personal injury law; claims for toxic mold tend to be complicated and require sufficient expertise in the state of Florida.
