How can I recognize toxic mold in Florida? 

There are several ways to detect a mold problem in your home. Signs of toxic mold in Florida include: 

• A strange or unexplained musty odor;
• Dark stains or discolorations on your ceiling or walls (generally these stains are green, blue, or black in color); and
• Discolored spots around bathroom tiles, household plumbing, or grout. 

Any of these signs may be an indication of toxic mold in your home. And this can be dangerous to humans as well as pets. Black mold, for instance, can grow throughout your home, and cause health problems such as: 

• Respiratory illness;
• Constant fatigue;
• Memory loss;
• Flu-like symptoms;
• Sore throat; and
• Depression. 

If you suffer from any of these symptoms, then you should immediately seek medical attention, and have your home inspected for toxic mold in Florida. You can also contact a Florida homeowners insurance attorney. 

Filing a Homeowners Insurance Claim for Toxic Mold in Florida 

If your home is infested with toxic mold in Florida, then you may be able to claim damages through a homeowners insurance claim. Damages you may be compensated for include: 

• The costs of repairs;
• Loss of property use and personal items;
• Depreciation of you property value;
• Relocation costs;
• Medical expenses;
• Damages from mental and physical effects; and
• A loss of earnings. 

You may also be eligible to file a lawsuit against any professionals who acted negligently regarding your toxic mold problem. Home inspectors, landlords, or materials suppliers can be held liable for failing to identify a mold problem. To do so, you should get the help of a Florida homeowner’s insurance attorney. An attorney can investigate your mold situation, help you to file a claim, and take the necessary action against those who are considered negligent.
