Mold Claims Guide

Mold: A Comprehensive Claims Guide

Mold can destroy the value of your (or your client's) real property and may expose you (or your client) to multi-million dollar damage lawsuits, even if your insurance policy expressly excludes mold from coverage. Such lawsuits are the basis of the fastest growing sector for litigation and insurance claims.

This is the first comprehensive guide that focuses specifically on mold and insurance claims in the United States. It provides helpful checklists and sample forms, and also includes a special chapter on claims in Canada.

Mold: A Comprehensive Claims Guide is designed to assist anyone dealing with property damage or bodily injury to third parties as a result of claimed exposure to mold infestations. It leads the insured person, and his or her counsel, through the claim process from the initial report of the claim to the final resolution, proof of loss, payment, or litigation. It provides guidance and information to the property owner or risk manager confronting losses caused by mold, and to the insurance adjuster or the insured's lawyer so that they may adequately serve the insured and comply with the obligations imposed on insurers. The Guide includes information for the insurer including underwriting against mold claims and investigating potential fraudulent mold claims. Property owners and insurance companies alike will find Mold: A Comprehensive Claims Guide a valuable resource for presenting cases and preparing mold claims.

The Guide:

· examines the possibilities for bodily injury and property damage as a result of mold;

· explains the various basis of insurance claims involving mold;

· leads the reader through the claim process from the points of view of both insured and insurer;

· discusses the investigative process in detail;

· provides Do's and Don'ts checklists and sample forms;

· provides an extensive discussion of litigating mold claims, plus analysis of recent cases;

· offers expert guidance for attorneys, insurance adjusters, risk managers, realtors, architects, engineers, geotechnical consultants, Environmental Health & Safety consultants, property owners and property managers.
