Who might be liable for injuries and damage from a toxic mold infestation?
These days mold and “toxic mold” are the subject of increasing health concerns and lawsuits. If you have developed health problems, suffered property damage, or incurred other types of losses because of a mold infestation, you may be able to file a legal claim to get compensation for your injuries or losses, including the cost of getting rid of the mold (called “mold remediation”). In evaluating a potential lawsuit, one of the first things you’ll need to do is identify which people and companies might be liable to you for the mold infestation. Who you can sue for a mold infestation depends on whether the mold is in a building you own or rent, or in a public place like a workplace or community building.
