Insurance companies have sought to drastically limit the amount they will pay for black mold or any mold claims.  Some companies will try to pay little or nothing at all for any type of mold clean-up, even for indoor mold contamination caused by a water damage event that is otherwise covered.  However, not all mold exclusions are equal.  This is why it is important to consult experts such as the Berniard Law Firm when an insurance company disputes your mold claim.

Typically a mold claim becomes an issue when it was not first seen by the adjuster sent out by the insurance company.  The insurance company will later try to deny a mold claim by asserting that the mold was a result of construction defect, improper loss mitigation technique, or that it was pre-existing prior to the covered loss.  Insurance companies will even try to deny that the mold exists when it is clearly an issue.

A mold damage claim should be covered where it results from a covered peril, such as a broken pipe, a storm, or fire suppression efforts.  Mold remediation and the techniques for cleaning up mold have become more sophisticated and expensive. As a result, insurers are panicking, refusing to cover mold claims under existing policies and rewriting their policy forms to exclude all coverage for mold, regardless of origin.

The Berniard Law Firm will employ experts in mold detection and remediation to ensure your mold claim is not wrongfully denied.  If you believe your insurance company is underpaying or denying your mold claim call our firm today to speak with an attorney.
