Toxic Mold Exposure In New Jersey

Do you have mold in your house that you're concerned may create health issues for your family? To learn if you have a possible case, contact the legal team at NJ Injury Guys now. Mold typically grows in a place with excessive moisture such as houses, businesses, and structures. Mold growth is usually found where there are leaking pipes, water irrigations, plumbing, and sewage lines. When moisture settles for a certain amount of time, it creates mold or fungus which not only causing serious damage to the property but also causes toxins to form that can be found in the air we breathe. Those toxins are then ingested into the human body, which can lead to ever health issues over time.

Depending on where the mold is found, there is a chance you may be able to sue the company or property owners responsible for not maintaining the property where the mold exposure occurred.

What Is Toxic Mold Exposure?

Since mold remediation is so expensive, homeowners and landlords of rental homes rely on insurance carriers to handle hazardous mold claims and assist with mold lawsuits when they are filed. The expected mold remediation from an insurance company is usually:

• Property damage clean-up and restoration
• Payment for long-term health issues
• Cover expenses from mold-related injuries
• Other additional damages

Though this is what is expected to be covered by an insurance company, it is not always the case. Homeowner's insurance usually covers mold damage and remediation, but it often requires a bit of a battle. However, if an insurance company ignores or delays processing a hazardous mold claim, causing more harm, the insurance company may be responsible for extra damages.
