Mold Issues for Plaintiffs

Representing Northern and Southern California mold plaintiffs

Mold often starts as a small, unseen greenish-black stain beneath a sink, carpeting or wallpaper. However, over the course of only a few months, this seemingly minor mold growth can rapidly spread to fill walls, floors, doors and even ventilation systems. In fact, this mold not only causes structural damage, it also presents a serious health hazard to those who have been exposed for a prolonged period of time.

Have a family member's allergy symptoms inexplicably worsened? Have you developed random headaches, short term memory loss or even hair loss? Have your children had difficulty concentrating in school? Mold exposure can seriously injure home owners, office workers, students, teachers and tenants.

If you or your family members have suffered injuries from mold exposure, contact a lawyer at the Law Offices of Kenny Tan in Diamond Bar, California. We have extensive experience handling personal injury or property damage claims related to mold. While we will attempt to negotiate a fair settlement, we will never hesitate to take a claim to trial if that is what proves necessary to protect our client's rights.

Mold: a fungus growing out of control

Only certain types of mold emit dangerous microtoxins, including:

• Stachybotrys chartarum or black mold growing on drywall, paper or wood.
• Certain species of Aspergillus fumigatus causing fungal disease which creates respiratory-related illnesses in humans and pets
• Chaetomium globosum
• Penicillum

Mold thrives in water-rich conditions caused by faulty plumbing, leaky roofs or windows, standing water, poor ventilation, inadequate waterproofing or high condensation. Long-term plumbing leaks in office buildings and rental properties are a common cause of mold exposure for tenants and office workers.

Sick building syndrome is even more puzzling. Here, occupants suffer from an illness that appears to be directly connected to the building. However, no specific illness or cause can be pinpointed. In these situations, a personal injury claim may be brought, but only after conducting a thorough investigation.
