MOLD LAWSUIT AND REAL ESTATE MOLD LITIGATION NEWS
"Mold problems have
become more prevalent because of increased use of cheaper building
materials like plasterboard and plywood, which are more prone to growing
mold when wet...Mold, as always, is spreading. But so is mold litigation,
to the consternation of the insurance industry. Last week a state court in
Austin, Texas, awarded Melinda Ballard and her family $32.1 million in a
case involving allegedly extensive mold damage to their Dripping Springs,
Texas, house. The jury ruled that Farmers Insurance Group had failed to
properly address Ms. Ballard's original water-damage and mold claim and
committed fraud in its handling of her claim," noted Christopher
Oster,
"Insurers Blanch At Proliferation of Mold Claims,"
