Toxic mold is very dangerous, especially to those who have allergies or compromised immune systems. For years, people have become mysteriously ill only to discover after some investigation that the cause of their illness was the exposure to toxic mold. There have been many fatalities in the United Stated attributed to toxic mold exposure.
Since toxic mold is typically found in areas that are damp and dark, mold can quickly grow on virtually any surface, including food, clothes, carpet, and anything else in close proximity to damp surroundings in your home or at your workplace.
Todd Law has seen firsthand the injuries that have resulted from exposure to toxic mold, as well as the permanent damage it can cause to personal property like mattresses, clothes, and other home furnishings.
If you believe your medical issues are related to potential toxic mold exposure, we would be happy to help you. In order for us to review your potential case, there are important steps that first need to be taken.
- Your home must be tested for toxic mold by an expert to determine the spore count and indoor air quality and you must still be living on the premises at the time of the testing.
- The medical issues you are experiencing must be documented and treated.
This means if you are suffering problems with your health, you must:
- Obtain a medical report from a mold illness practitioner stating that your health problems are directly related to the toxic mold exposure
- Have a blood test showing that you have mold in your bloodstream
- Undergo a medical detoxification to remove the mold from your bloodstream
- The damage caused to your personal property must be permanent and must be documented.
If your personal property was damaged, you will need to provide:
- Photos of the mold damage
- A written report from a mold testing expert stating that the item(s) are permanently ruined and cannot be salvaged or professionally cleaned (for example, porous furnishings like mattresses cannot simply be taken to the dry cleaner to have mold removed in the same way that clothing can)
- Receipts showing the amount of money you paid for each of the damaged items
Once you have gone through the steps listed above, please call (770) 477-7878 to schedule an appointment and we would be happy to review your documents. If you have any questions in the meantime, check out this helpful video on claims involving toxic mold exposure.
