Due to Florida’s humid climate, mold is a common problem for Florida’s residential and business property owners. Mold is a fungus that grows best in areas with more moisture, such as the bathroom, and can develop as a result of a leaking roof, flooding or a pipe burst.

In some cases, mold can cause adverse health effects such as coughing, difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, eye irritation, headaches and fever. It can also aggravate existing conditions such as asthma and allergies. People with low immune systems, such as children and the elderly, are especially at risk. Some types of mold are toxic and especially harmful to the health, such as stachybotrys (commonly known as “black mold”). Black mold produces a type of toxin called mycotoxin, which, if inhaled for an extended period of time, can even cause death.

If you find mold damage in your home or business property as a result of a leaking roof, flooding or a pipe burst, you may be able to get compensation from the insurance company for the costs of cleaning the mold and replacing any damaged property. Furthermore, if you have suffered from health problems due to mold exposure, you may be entitled to damages for the cost of medical care, past and future lost wages, and pain and suffering.
