MOLD

At Cheely, O’Flaherty & Ayres, our attorneys have successfully defended lawsuits in the rapidly growing area of mold-related litigation involving  bodily injury and property damage .  Mold is a natural part of our environment, and, virtually, every building contains some sort of mold, especially where there are leakage or water infiltration problems.  While some individuals develop health problems relating to certain mold spores like black mold, there are currently no government standards dictating how much mold is too much.  We defend building owners, developers, landlords, tenants, contractors and other individuals and entities in lawsuits arising from unjustified and unsupported mold-related claims, as well as their unique insurance coverage implications.
