Our blog titled “Employee and Tenant Exposure to Toxic Black Mold” describes some of the damages that a tenant may be entitled to if he or she is injured because of wrongful exposure to toxic mold, including: medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and rent abatement. However, before an injured party can state a valid claim for personal injury damages, it must be determined that the mold found in the property is pathogenic (harmful to humans). The toxic mold attorneys of Maginnis Law, PLLC will help you locate knowledgeable medical and environmental specialists to make this determination, and if your injuries have been caused by exposure to toxic mold, they will aggressively pursue fair personal injury compensation.
