MOLD DISPUTES

Mold problems in a home or building are rarely just cosmetic. They are often the result of construction defects, water intrusion, or improper repairs—and they can lead to serious health consequences.

I represent homeowners and property owners across St. Tammany Parish, Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, and surrounding areas in mold-related disputes involving both property damage and personal injury.

Identifying the Source of the Problem

Mold does not occur on its own. It is typically caused by an underlying issue, such as:

• Improper construction or building envelope failures
• Roof leaks or defective roofing systems
• Plumbing failures or hidden water intrusion
• HVAC or ventilation defects
  
  

The key to any mold case is identifying where the failure occurred and who is responsible.

Claims Against Builders, Contractors, and Insurers

Mold disputes often involve multiple legal claims, depending on the cause:

• Construction Defect Claims: When improper work leads to moisture intrusion and mold growth
• New Home Warranty Act (NHWA): For covered defects in new residential construction
• Breach of Contract: When contractors fail to properly complete or repair work
• Insurance Disputes: When coverage is denied or underpaid
  
  

I evaluate the facts of the case to determine the appropriate legal path.

Mold-Related Personal Injury Claims

Mold exposure can lead to serious health conditions, including respiratory issues, asthma, and skin irritation. In recent years, Louisiana courts have increasingly recognized claims for injuries caused by prolonged exposure to mold.

These cases involve more than repairing the property—they involve holding responsible parties accountable for the impact on your health.

A Practical Approach to Mold Litigation

Mold cases require coordination between legal, construction, and environmental factors. I review inspection reports, construction records, and expert findings to determine how the problem developed and how to resolve it.

The goal is to address both the cause of the mold and the full extent of the damage.
