MOLD CONTAMINATION

Home : Toxic Mold Litigation

Molds are microscopic fungi that need plant and animal matter in order to grow. Molds are found in almost every environment outdoors, and in homes and buildings. Household molds exist in colors such as red, green, blue-green, brown and black. Most molds pose little or no health risks to people, but exposure to some molds (including two household varieties) can cause severe health complications and even death for infants and sensitive individuals. A few examples of toxic molds include:

• Aspergillus
• Fusarium
• Memnoniella (toxic household mold)
• Paecilomyces
• Penicillium
• Stachybotrys (toxic household mold)

If you have a significant mold contamination in your home or residence, you may be entitled to the costs of repairing, replacing and restoring your property. If you notice a significant mold contamination problem, you may wish to obtain the services of a Certified Industrial Hygienist.

If you are experience health problems due to mold contamination, seek the appropriate medical attention.

Mold contamination and personal injury cases are complicated. The firm of Pillsbury & Read has successfully litigated these cases on behalf of homeowners and other injured persons. Jack Read is one of a handful of attorneys who has actually tried a personal injury mold contamination case to a jury verdict in South Carolina in proving a school district to be grossly negligent in exposing school children to toxic mold.
