Is Your Family At Risk Of Toxic Mold Exposure?

San Diego Mold Attorney – Best Mold Attorney

As a San Diego mold attorney, I know there is a lot of information out there about the health effects of mold and who is most likely to be effected. Most of it, we must say, is poor information. So-called toxic mold can effect you in a number of ways:

When clients call a San Diego mold attorney for legal counsel, they usually have suffered from allergic type symptoms. People who suffer from allergies are most likely going to have significant reactions when exposed to mold, fungus or volatile organic compounds. So, it goes without saying that people with allergies (especially to mold and dust mites) need to avoid mold infested environments.

Also, some people might not even know they are allergic to mold or dust mites.  Many people might just believe they have hay fever or are allergic to something else.

As a very general rule, based on my experience as a San Diego mold attorney, there are three classes of people that have to be especially careful of mold and dust mite exposure:

  • The very young
  • The elderly
  • Those with compromised immune systems.

The reason these individuals are more at risk is because they are more likely to have severe long-term problems. You see, the majority of people return to their baseline (ie get better) within a short time after leaving the infected environment. The people listed above are generally the only people we see, as San Diego mold attorneys, who have the potential for life-long damage.

If you or someone you love has been exposed to mold, dust mites or volatile organic compounds you need a San Diego mold attorney that will fight the insurance company. Call our office today at 619.615.0767 for a free, no-hassle consultation or send us an email with the specifics of your case.
