Napa Toxic Mold Lawyer

Anyone who has lived or worked around mold knows how unpleasant it is. It can irritate allergies and has a very unpleasant odor. Most mold does not cause issues more serious than this. When mold is toxic, however, coming into contact with it is extremely dangerous. Many people come into contact with toxic mold and do not even realize it until they begin to get sick. Mold spores are similar to dust, and they can travel far and wide. If you have become sick or otherwise suffered harm due to exposure to toxic mold, you may have a right to damages or financial compensation. You must first determine who is liable for the exposure when trying to obtain maximum damages. Our Napa toxic mold lawyer can help determine if someone else is to blame and will negotiate for the fair settlement you deserve.

Who is Liable for Exposure to Toxic Mold?

Due to the fact that toxic mold poses such a danger to anyone exposed to it, the courts view liability as a very serious matter. If you were exposed to toxic mold on someone else’s property, they or another party can be held liable for the exposure. For example, construction companies can be liable if they built a building or other structure without proper ventilation, and mold developed as a result. Individuals responsible for maintaining a property can also be held liable if they fail to remove mold or take the necessary steps to avoid it.

In certain situations, landlords can also be held responsible when tenants are exposed to toxic mold. Landlords are generally responsible for caring for community areas, such as hallways and lobbies. If they fail to do this, many tenants may be exposed to toxic mold and become sick. If a tenant reports the presence of mold in their unit, landlords must also correct the problem in a timely manner. A toxic mold lawyer in Napa can help you hold responsible parties accountable.

There are many possibly negligent parties who can be held liable for exposure to toxic mold. These include:

  • Property owners
  • Property management companies
  • Architects
  • Employers
  • Heating and ventilation companies
  • Roofers
  • Plumbers

Our Napa toxic mold lawyer can help you determine who is liable for your injuries.

Why is Toxic Mold So Dangerous?

Toxic mold poses many dangers to people’s health and well-being. The most common conditions caused by this dangerous substance are as follows:

  • Asthma
  • Coughing
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Nosebleeds
  • Headaches
  • Memory loss
  • Eye irritation
  • Confusion
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Skin rashes
  • Respiratory damage
  • Bronchitis
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Immune system deficiency
  • Lung disease

At best, the conditions caused by toxic mold exposure are uncomfortable. In the worst of cases, they are fatal. This is particularly true when individuals have compromised immune systems or underlying conditions. These, however, do not bar someone from claiming compensation when another person’s negligence exacerbated the condition.
