Exposure to molds can cause a range of sinus problems, respiratory illness and other serious diseases, especially to those who are sensitive, such as young children and the elderly. Mold can also cause serious damage to a home or other buildings. These dangerous molds are often caused by moisture that has penetrated the building due to poor design, negligent construction techniques or the use of inferior materials.

While healthy individuals may not be impacted by mold, prolonged or excessive exposure can aggravate asthma and other allergies. Further, the excessive growth of water-loving mold can even be fatal in some cases. Chemicals that are called mycotoxins, which humans are exposed to due to either ingestion or inhalation, can cause illness in people who are not sensitive to them.
While most homeowner and commercial insurance policies have specific exclusions for mold damage, water damage usually is covered. Since mold comes from water intrusion, it may be possible to hold insurance companies accountable for toxic mold damage and injuries under provisions for water damage.
