Not all house mold is toxic to your health but some can be lethal
Notwithstanding, there are more than a hundred different strains of house mold that can be dangerous to your health. One such mold is “black mold”, and it can be extremely toxic, and in some cases, can even lead to death.
Black Mold Is Among The Most Dangerous
Legally, a landlord, building owner, or builder can be held legally responsible for the injuries sustained by the occupants of the structure as a result of toxic mold. The personal injury attorney would need to prove that the defendant knew or should have known of the potential danger but failed to prevent or remove the danger or warn the occupants of the danger.
Signs that you may have toxic mold growing in your home:
- You are experiencing symptoms such as a stuffy head, headaches, scratchy throat, and runny nose, and yet they do not seem to be related to common allergies.
- There are visible signs of mold on your floors, walls, and basement.
- There is a musty odor coming from your walls, floor, or basement and you have had some degree of flooding, either natural or otherwise in the recent past.
