Toxic mold exposure causes serious health problems — respiratory illness, neurological damage, and chronic conditions. If a landlord or property owner failed to fix a mold problem, you may have a case.
Mold thrives in damp, poorly maintained buildings — and when landlords ignore water damage, leaks, or ventilation problems, tenants pay the price with their health. Toxic mold exposure, including black mold (Stachybotrys), can cause serious respiratory illness, chronic fatigue, neurological symptoms, and long-term health complications.
At The Brinton Firm, we represent tenants, homeowners, and building occupants across Southern California who have been harmed by mold exposure caused by landlord negligence or property owner failure to maintain safe conditions. We handle serious injury cases — not minor complaints. For mold-specific injury claims, see our Mold Exposure Lawyer page.

The firm’s approach to resolving property injury cases involves several key steps:
We start with a no-cost, confidential review of your case. Tell us what happened, and our experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyers will quickly determine if a property owner’s or landlord’s negligence caused your injury.
We handle everything: gathering maintenance records, repair requests, photos of the dangerous condition, medical bills, incident reports, and witness statements to build an ironclad case proving negligence and liability.
Armed with strong evidence, we negotiate aggressively with the property owner, management company, insurer, and all responsible parties to secure a fair settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
If they refuse to offer a fair amount, our trial-tested tenant lawyers are fully prepared to file suit and fight for you in Los Angeles County court. We’ve taken on the biggest landlords and won.
Children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions are especially vulnerable to mold-related illness.These health risks are often linked to broader property issues involving water damage, mold, and asbestos contamination.

Asbestos-related illnesses often develop years after exposure. We know how to investigate your history, identify responsible parties, and build a case even when the exposure happened long ago.

After the mold exposure made my kids sick, The Brinton Firm took our case seriously from day one. They fought hard and helped us move into a safe home.
When a fire damaged our apartment and management ignored us, The Brinton Firm stepped in immediately. Their support changed everything.
For months my landlord refused to repair dangerous conditions. This firm held them accountable and helped me feel safe again.
Property owners and landlords have a legal duty to maintain habitable conditions. When they know about — or should have known about — water damage, leaks, or mold growth and fail to act, they can be held liable for the harm caused to occupants.Mold issues are often connected with asbestos exposure in older homes and buildings.
Common causes of landlord-related mold problems include:
• Unrepaired roof or plumbing leaks
• Flooding or water intrusion left untreated
• Poor ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements
• Failure to remediate mold after being notified by tenants
• Using improper materials that trap moisture.
If you were exposed to mold in a rental or building, experienced health problems as a result, and the property owner knew or should have known about the mold and failed to fix it, you may have a valid claim. The best way to know is to speak with an attorney. We offer free consultations.
Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is the most commonly associated with serious health effects, but other mold types including Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium can also cause significant illness, especially with prolonged exposure.
Landlords often try to shift blame onto tenants. However, if the mold resulted from a structural issue, leak, or maintenance failure that the landlord was responsible for, their claim is likely incorrect. Document everything — photos, written notices to your landlord, and medical records — and contact an attorney.
In California, personal injury claims generally have a two-year statute of limitations from the date you knew or should have known about the injury. Do not wait — contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
No. You can pursue a claim while still living in the property, though your safety should come first. If conditions are dangerous, document everything and contact your local housing authority as well.
If you or a family member has been harmed by mold exposure in a rental home, apartment, or building, The Brinton Firm can help. We serve clients throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, and Southern California. You pay nothing unless we win.
