Toxic Mold Lawyer

Mold inside buildings can cause serious injuries to individuals and/or damage to the building or property within it. Stachybotrys or black mold is a dangerous type of mold, and exposure to this and other types of mold indoors can cause lung damage, liver disorders, joint and chest pain, skin rashes, headaches, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, and even brain injuries.toxic mold lawsuit

In order to grow and spread, mold needs moisture, which usually comes from such things as plumbing and window leaks, roof and stucco leaks, and drainage and grading problems.  It does not take long for mold to develop as it can develop on water damaged building materials in as little as 2 days.  Once the source is located, the process of removal can begin.  If your home has been exposed to mold then give our Alabama toxic mold lawyer a call at (205) 201-1789 for a free consultation with an Alabama lawyer today.

Once the mold is tested and it is confirmed that there is a mold problem, then the impacted area will be contained by using clear plastic.  Cleaners use Tyvek suits, respirators, and goggles, enter the area infested with mold and remove the water damaged materials and any remaining growth and place in sealed containers.

The mold laden building materials must be removed not just cleaned or painted over.  This process can be very expensive and the builders or sellers of the property may be liable for these costs.  If you believe that your house may be damaged by toxic mold, or if you have been injured as a result of mold infestation, then call our Alabama toxic mold lawyer at (205) 201-1789 for a free consultation with our lawyer today.

Some common claims based on toxic mold would be that the seller failed to disclose its presence, bad faith claims by homeowners against their insurance company for failing to promptly process claims fairly, suing for the costs of mold remediation and decreased property value, and (in the case of tenants) constructive eviction.

If you have experienced property damage from toxic mold or you have become sick due to mold exposure then give our Alabama toxic mold lawyer a call for a free consultation to discuss whether you might have a claim at (205) 201-1789.
