Where Does Mold Occur?

Understanding the conditions that lead to mold growth is crucial for moisture control. Mold thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas, and it often occurs near leaks in roofs, windows, or plumbing. Effective mold control is essential to prevent costly removal efforts while avoiding health risks.

The Science of Mold Litigation: A Battle of Mold Experts

Mold litigation has seen a surge in recent years, with increasing claims for personal injury and property damage. Despite this, the science behind the health effects of mold exposure remains a subject of debate. Our mold lawyers are skilled in leveraging expert testimony to strengthen your case.

Key Strategies for Moisture Control

• Promptly repair leaky plumbing and external leaks.
• Monitor for condensation and wet spots.
• Manage indoor air moisture levels through the use of ventilation or dehumidifiers.
• Maintain clean and functional HVAC drip pans.
• Regularly inspect and maintain HVAC systems, especially if mold contamination is suspected.
• Ensure proper drainage around building foundations.

Representative Mold Litigation Cases

• Mold Litigation Involving Multiple Experts: We represented a landlord in a defense against a claim in which tenants argued that they had suffered substantial financial damages and attempted to recover back rent. Several mold experts provided testimony during the child. Possession of the property was awarded to our client, and we prevented the tenants from recovering financial damages from the landlord.
• Complex Mold Litigation: We represented condominium tenants who brought a lawsuit against the landlord and property manager because of the failure to properly remediate toxic mold on the premises. The dangerous levels of mold caused our clients to suffer severe allergic reactions. We settled the case favorably.
• Defense of Mold Claims Related to Property Damage: We successfully defended a landlord in a lawsuit where tenants attempted to recover thousands of dollars in damages because mold allegedly occurred due to the failure to perform the proper repairs. We filed a countersuit, and we prevailed against the tenants' claims. In addition, we were able to recover attorney's fees on behalf of our client.
• Lead in Water and Constructive Eviction: We argued a case on behalf of a landlord who was sued by a tenant due to the discovery that water on the property contained lead. We prevailed after taking creative steps to prevent the plaintiff from introducing certain evidence during the trial, and the court ruled in favor of our client.
• Tenant Constructive Eviction and Mold Lawsuit: We worked with tenants to recover damages from a landlord who failed to repair water leakage correctly and in a timely fashion, which later caused the growth and proliferation of mold. We were able to obtain sufficient evidence of neglect on the part of the landlord, and we secured a highly favorable settlement for our clients.
