Toxic Mold

Toxic mold, or black mold, has attracted a lot of media attention lately.  Apartments, schools, and office buildings have been found to have toxic mold problems, resulting in injuries to the occupants of these structures.  Different people seem to have significantly different reactions to the presence of toxic mold.  It does not affect a few people at all - other, much more severe reactions include allergic reactions, immunity system problems, memory failure, depression and other psychological issues, brain damage, and even death.  And there are indications that pregnant women may be putting their babies at risk, even if the woman does not experience any adverse effects.  In fact, children who attend school in buildings where toxic mold is growing may have more severe or long-lasting reactions than adults.

Once a property owner or landlord has been put on notice that a problem with toxic mold exists, he or she has a duty to clean up the mold and make the premises safe to use or live in once again. If the property owner or landlord fails in that duty, he or she can be held liable for continuing problems suffered by the users or residents of the property in question.
