Testimonials

Upon my first enrollment through the firm being new to my case, I endured reassurance through self doubt, consistent communication, informative advice , uplifting encouragement, customer/client satisfaction, followed by case completion. Even through the timely challenge's encountered with the process I received professionalism, educational mentorship, suggestions of rational decisions to my case due to it being very difficult from the other insurer. This firm has done what was asked plus more for my case. I totally recommend to any inquiry that inquires. Upon my dismissal of the case I did endure time sensitive paperwork from the other insurer without acknowledgement but also being followed with the firm by correspondence and correction due to them . Following after case being closed a conclusion and informative discussion call was held for the completion needed for records .For my whole experience even while being challenging, still successful. This firm couldn’t have been more great!

When a young member of my staff was in an accident that totaled her car, I referred her to Tshai and helped her understand the process that she was embarking on. Tshai was the consummate professional who kept my colleague informed, made sure she made her medical appointments and followed their expert medical advice on a path to healing. Tshai's expertise is beyond question and her attention to detail precise. Her settlement was very fair and needless to say, her financial remuneration was very much appreciated and help my staff member immensely.

What Are the Dangers of Toxic Mold?

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp and poorly ventilated areas. When flooding, leaks, or excessive moisture go unaddressed, mold can spread quickly.

There are hundreds of mold species in New York and the United States. Not all mold is toxic, but prolonged exposure to certain types, such as Aspergillus and Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), can cause serious health issues. Toxic mold exposure may cause or worsen symptoms such as:

Sneezing
Nasal stuffiness or a runny nose
Eye irritation
Skin irritation or rashes
Asthma symptoms, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness
Headaches
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which is lung inflammation due to a reaction to the mold, causing extreme fatigue and other flu-like symptoms
Allergic fungal sinusitis, or an inflammatory reaction in the sinuses
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, or an allergic reaction in the lungs
Gut and digestive issues

Researchers are still studying all the ways mold exposure may affect the human body. Some studies suggest that mold exposure may also be linked to cognitive impairment and other systemic symptoms.

Children, seniors, and people who are immunocompromised are especially vulnerable to adverse health effects from mold exposure.

Do I Have a Toxic Mold Case?

To have a viable mold case, you generally must show that a property owner, landlord, or other responsible party was negligent, that the mold exposure caused your illness or injuries, and that you suffered actual damages as a result. Establishing negligence generally requires four key elements:

Duty of care. You must establish that the responsible party had a duty of care to keep the property reasonably safe. For example, New York property owners and landlords have a duty to their tenants to maintain habitable, safe living spaces.
Breach of duty of care. You must show that the responsible party failed to meet that duty. For example, in a mold case, this breach may include ignoring mold or leak complaints, refusing or delaying repairs, or failing to follow mold inspectors’ recommendations.
Causation. You must establish a clear link between the mold exposure and your illness or injuries.
Damages. You must show that you have suffered actual damages as a result of the mold exposure, including medical expenses, property damages, or pain and suffering.
