Q: Trying to find a lawyer for a toxic mold situation in my mother's senior apartments. What kind of lawyer do I need
have pictures and lab results
A: You need a PI attorney. You also need to establish some kind of serious personal injury. Otherwise, there is nothing for which to recover damages. If this is just an issue of mold, no damages, then you need a landlord-tenant attorney. Your mother may be able to withhold rent due to violation of the warranty of habitability.
A: Do you have medical bills? Do you have inspector report? Without those two documents , it would be hard to start a case. Best of luck!!!
A: You need a Warranty of Habitability attorney. Best of luck.
A: A personal injury attorney with solid knowledge of environmental law and, preferably, with relevant experience in toxic exposure cases is the legal professional you are looking for. Nevertheless, you should be aware that unless your mother developed a serious health issue as a consequence of mold exposure, pursuing a case will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. If, however, you do not intend to seek compensation for a personal injury, a landlord-tenant lawyer will be able to assist you with issues or disputes concerning mold exposure.
