Compton Toxic Mold Lawyer

Being exposed to toxic mold is very harmful to a person’s health. If you have been exposed due to another person’s negligence, and you became sick as a result, you may be able to claim compensation from the negligent party. These claims present many challenges, though, and one mistake can result in a forfeiture of damages. Our Compton toxic mold lawyer will conduct an investigation to determine how you were exposed and who is liable for paying damages for your losses.

When to File a Claim for Toxic Mold

It is not easy to determine if you can file a claim after suffering harm from toxic mold exposure. You may have a case if any of the following apply:

  • Your home developed toxic mold due to a construction defect,
  • You have notified your landlord about water damage or the presence of toxic mold, and they have failed to correct it,
  • You have incurred, or will incur, medical expenses due to exposure,
  • You have missed work due to health problems caused by exposure to toxic mold,
  • You have attempted to remove the mold yourself,
  • Your personal property was damaged due to toxic mold, or
  • Your quality of life has diminished due to exposure.
What Symptoms Does Toxic Mold Exposure Cause?

Exposure to toxic mold causes many different symptoms and health conditions. The most common of these include:

  • Sneezing
  • Coughing
  • Postnasal drip
  • Red eyes
  • Nasal congestion
  • Wheezing
  • Chest tightness
  • Dry cough
  • Shortness of breath

Prolonged exposure can also cause other health conditions such as respiratory infections, asthma, skin rashes, immune system dysfunctions, and joint pain.

Time Limits on Toxic Mold Claims

All personal injury cases are governed by a statute of limitations, and those involving toxic mold are no different. The statute of limitations is the time limit on your case. In Compton, and the rest of California, the statute of limitations on toxic mold claims is two years from the date you were exposed. The law is very strict, and while there are exceptions to this deadline, they are limited.

If you do not file your toxic mold claim before the statute of limitations expires, you will lose your right to claim any damages at all. Both the insurance company and the court will throw out your case. Due to this, it is of the utmost importance that you speak to a toxic mold attorney in Compton as soon as you start to experience symptoms.
