Oklahoma Toxic Mold Lawyers
If you are invited or allowed into someone else’s home or onto the premises of a business or other building, it is reasonable to expect that your safety and wellbeing is considered by the property owner. This expectation is the basis for premises liability laws that work to protect that expectation of safety. Unfortunately, laws and regulations are not always enough to keep dangerous situations from occurring. In fact, if a property is not carefully maintained, it can lead to harmful situations like the presence of toxic mold. Toxic molds, like Stachybotrys and Chaetomium, can result in serious medical complications for individuals who are exposes to their toxins.
If you were harmed by exposure to mold while on another party’s property, you may have a premises liability case. For more information on your legal rights as a victim of a negligent property owner, please contact the Oklahoma toxic mold lawyers of the Abel Law Firm by calling 405-239-7046.
The Danger of Mold Exposure
Mold can grow in all sorts of environments and can form quite rapidly, presenting serious danger to people who are exposed to the airborne toxins that mold can distribute. Mold itself is not typically toxic, but mold is capable of breeding and releasing toxins that can be extremely harmful to a person’s health if they are breathed in or if a person is exposed to them for an extended period of time. Common toxins found in mold can lead to harmful medical conditions such as:
- Lupus
- Chronic bronchitis
- Arthritis
- Types of cancer
- Chronic fatigue
- Multiple sclerosis
These conditions have serious health implications that can be costly to treat and can cause permanent damage. Exposure to mold should not be taken lightly. Young children and elderly adults are especially vulnerable to the presence of these toxins.
