Causes of Toxic Mold
In many American homes, toxic mold occurs because of moist conditions and the availability of spaces where mold can grow. Insulation, carpets, drywalls, ceiling tiles, upholstery, and wood are some of the many spaces where toxic mold can develop. When they are wet, these materials are the perfect breeding ground for toxic black mold.

Anyone can experience toxic mold-related health issues because of exposure, but infants, people with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and people with allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems run the highest risk of becoming ill.

Symptoms of Toxic Mold Infestation
Here is a list of common symptoms that a person exposed to toxic mold in the home may exhibit:

• Pains and aches
• Potential fever
• Headaches
• Irritated skin
• Dry cough or hacking accompanied by a sore throat
• Burning, watery, red, or sensitive eyes
• Blurred vision
• Sinus and nasal congestion and/or irritation
• Wheezing or other respiratory or breathing problems

Memory loss, cancer, and mood swings have also been linked to toxic mold. Several months will usually have passed before most people realize that they have been exposed to toxic mold.

Who is Liable for Toxic Mold Damages?
Homeowners Association: The owners of townhouses or condos will usually have CC & R’s that provide that the HOA is in charge of the maintenance, repair, and care of roofs, external walls, and common areas, such as walkways. If the HOA neglects to fix a source of water intrusion, it can be held liable for your injuries, relocation expenses, and emotional trauma.

Landlords: Landlords are responsible for repairing the source of water intrusion that is helping the mold grow. If you are a renter that has found mold and your landlord is ignoring the problem and you get sick because of the mold, you may be able to hold the landlord liable for your physical injuries, emotional trauma, relocation costs, and rent abatement (refund on past rent).

Home Sellers: If you buy a house and you find hidden mold that the seller very likely knew about but did not reveal during escrow, the seller, the seller’s broker, and the seller’s agent may be liable for your injuries, relocation expenses, and emotional distress.
