What's my mold case worth?
What's the Settlement Value of my mold case?
Can I Sue My Landlord For Mold?
We get asked these questions quite often. First, the answer to value of your mold case is typically unknown at the outset. Second, many factors go into the valuation of a mold case. There's the legal aspects (what claims and damages do you have) and the practical aspects (outside of the control of the law).

Legal Aspects of Valuing a Mold Case
-
Much of this part of the evaluation goes into what laws have been broken. What could you claim if you had to sue someone for a mold claim?
-
Are there statutory violations that you can claim under the law? Is your landlord already liable if there's a violation of a statute - or can you only claim negligence (that there was a duty owed to you that was violated)?
-
What does your lease say?
-
A mold lawyer knows which claims to make against a landlord - and the right way to word those claims. The wrong wording in a lawsuit make it subject to early challenges - which can delay a resolution - or take your claims outside of insurance coverage.
Practical Aspects of Valuing a Mold Case
-
Does your landlord have an insurance policy that is going to work to resolve the case?
-
Does your landlord take this claim "personally" or do they admit that a problem existed.
What Damages Can I Claim in a Mold Case?
-
Damages sometimes include (but aren't always limited to):
-
Overpayment of prior rent
-
Loss of personal property
-
Damages if you were forced to move out
-
Medical bills
-
Emotional distress or personal injury losses
