Toxic Mold Claims
General Litigation
Advocating For Clients Of All Kinds
At Geurts Law Firm, our clients are individuals, professionals, owners of small to medium-size businesses and even entrepreneurs operating multimillion-dollar entities. Our general litigation practice involves resolving cases related to personal injury claims, breaches of contract, lease disputes, collections, construction defects and toxic mold claims. In addition, we manage cases involving homeowner associations, land and property issues, and nuisance matters.
A History Of Success In Toxic Mold Claims
Toxic mold, often associated with sick building syndrome (SBS), can infiltrate buildings through materials like drywall, insulation and wood, thriving in damp, dark conditions. Mold exposure happens in not only private homes but also buildings, including schools, offices and retail spaces. It can even appear in vehicles, as seen in a lawsuit involving a Cadillac with mold issues due to defective seals.
At Geurts Law Firm, we have won settlements for clients in several noteworthy California cases, including a $1.2 million jury award in Laguna Beach for a child’s severe respiratory problems caused by mold and a $22.6 million award in Manhattan Beach, where moldy lumber severely affected a child’s health. We also represented a well-known TV star who got a $7.2 million settlement after toxic mold caused severe illnesses and the death of their dog.
Proving mold exposure can be challenging. Toxic mold litigation typically requires an environmental assessment and negotiations with various stakeholders. Because there is a two-year statute of limitations for toxic mold cases, it is important to act quickly.

We Don’t Make Guarantees, But We Are Good On Our Word
At Geurts Law Firm, many of our clients’ toughest disputes are settled favorably without protracted and costly litigation. We firmly believe that litigation is not always the only way to protect your rights to a fair and just outcome in resolving a legal conflict.
While we do not guarantee the outcome of cases – no attorney can – attorney Geurts has a solid reputation as a creative thinker and an experienced litigator. He is not afraid to think outside the box for our clients, and, as a result, we have a high percentage of cases that have settled outside the courtroom.
Many conflicts involve more than one area of law and have a range of legal options for getting past the impasse. We provide clear explanations of the law and explain the pros and cons of the various ways to resolve conflicts. We help our clients understand their options and guide them with innovative strategies that improve their chances of achieving the best solutions possible. We stay in touch with our clients as each claim moves to case status and then to resolution.
