Toxic Mold Litigation in America: Strategy, Science & Settlements in a High-Stakes Field
About this book
Toxic Mold Litigation in America is a practice-driven analysis of modern mold claims by attorney Ngozi E. Bolin. It explains the science of mold exposure and indoor air quality, how courts evaluate medical causation, how Daubert and Frye challenges and insurance exclusions shape strategy, and how to separate viable claims from speculative ones.
Strategy, Science & Settlements in a High-Stakes Field
Toxic mold litigation has matured. The early panic over “black mold” has faded, but the science remains, and so do the stakes. When liability is documented and causation survives an admissibility challenge, mold cases can produce substantial settlements. Many others fail at summary judgment because of weak expert foundations or speculative injury theories.
Toxic Mold Litigation in America is not a sensational exposé. It is a disciplined, evidence-based roadmap for evaluating and litigating mold claims in a landscape shaped by Daubert, restrictive insurance policies and close scientific scrutiny, drawing on real-world matters involving military housing, public housing authorities and multi-party construction defect claims.
