Toxic Mold Definition

Mold is a common term for fungi that are found in all environments around the world. Mold can cause serious property damage and can also cause some people to get sick. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that the health effects of mold exposure for most people are similar to allergies. Some people believe that mold that produces mycotoxins ("toxic mold") can cause more serious health problems.

If you've suffered harm (property damage or health problems), you may be able to file a toxic mold insurance claim or lawsuit against anyone who intentionally or carelessly caused or contributed to your mold problem.
