Mold Litigation
If you live in a building that is not watertight, or has leaking pipes, or is constructed in a way that encourages water to move throughout the building's structure, your health may by compromised. While mold spores are naturally present everywhere, excessive mold exposure can cause a variety of health problems, including allergies, asthma, and infections. Some molds can cause more severe health problems.

If you suspect that you have become sick because of mold in your apartment, first, tell your landlord. Your landlord should at least inspect the premises and hire a firm to evaluate and, if necessary, repair the problem. If the landlord will not take these steps to repair the problem, you should hire a mold remediation firm to take air samples and report on the kinds of mold present in your living environment, and then see your doctor and have him or her confirm that the cause of your illness is mold exposure. If you are ill because of mold, you can sue your landlord to force him or her to fix the problem and compensate you for your injuries.
