$1,000,000 Awarded In Toxic Mold Settlement

Toxic mold can be a serious health issue. If you have it in your home, you may be eligible for compensation. 

Living in a run-down house or apartment is bad enough. But in some cases, things are worse than bad—and toxic mold is a factor that can take your living space from bad to downright dangerous. 

Do you suspect that you may have toxic mold in your home? Do you see mold growing in your bathroom, on your walls, near leaks, in the attic, or in the crawlspace?

Do you suffer from allergies that seem to be getting worse as the mold problem worsens? Do you have allergic reactions, and feel that they may be mold-related?

Here’s the thing. 

Mold isn’t uncommon. 

But if there is mold growing in your home, it can cause a number of different health concerns. Especially if it’s a mold called S. Chartarum, which is linked to serious health problems. 

People who live in contaminated buildings can suffer from mycotoxicosis—mold poisoning. 

They can also suffer from:

• Aches and pains
• Memory loss
• Nosebleeds 
• Allergies
• Irritation of the respiratory system
• A dry cough
• Wheezing
• Water eyes
• A runny nose

How Much Can You Win In A Toxic Mold Lawsuit?

If you’ve suffered minor injury or property damage, the payout can range from $3,000 to $10,000. 

But for more serious cases, you can win over $100,000. There have even been cases where $500,000 to $1 million were paid out in settlements and damages. 

In one case, $500,000 was awarded to a renter who lost hearing in one ear due to a sinus injury that was caused by the mold. Mold had started growing in the crawlspace, and the landlord did nothing to fix the problem—resulting in a lawsuit and a major payout.

In one case, two women who lived in a rental property reported a leak to their landlord, who did nothing to repair the problem. 

The women detected a strong, musty odor a while later—and it turned out that mold had developed as a result of the leak. The landlord was ordered to pay over $1 million in damages. 

Can You Really Get Money For Your Toxic Mold Lawsuit?

Yes, you absolutely can. 

If you believe that your house or apartment may be contaminated with black mold, it’s time to talk to a lawyer. 

This is the best course of action for dealing with the problem and getting the payout you deserve. 

When To Call A Lawyer

You don’t even technically need to see or detect mold to potentially have a mold problem. 

If you’ve had a leak that went for longer than 48 hours without being addressed, it could have caused mold growth—and you may need to get it tested. 

Have you asked your landlord to fix a leak, only to have your requests ignored? If so, it may be time to take action and protect yourself. 

The best way to get this process started, and to figure out what to do next, is to contact a toxic mold attorney. 

It Doesn’t Cost Anything To Speak To An Attorney

Black mold isn’t a joke. 

And while it can be cleaned up, removal can be costly. 

More often than not, mold is allowed to grow for far too long—and it ends up leading to health problems, allergy flair-ups, and asthma complications. 

Then, you also have to deal with missed work, medical expenses, and the pain and suffering caused by the toxins. 

Mold poisoning can even lead to lung infections—especially in the immuno-compromised. 

Don’t delay. Reach out to a lawyer today and take action to claim the compensation you deserve.
