Mold Health Injury Lawyer Leesburg VA | Toxic Exposure at Home
On the other hand, I’ve seen this the other way too many times to count.
A client in a Leesburg home has mold growing in the wall cavities, beneath the floors, or in air vents, but with no visible evidence.
No smell.
Just an ever-growing list of symptoms that no doctor can seem to diagnose.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And it’s not all in your head.
Invisible mold can silently cause a range of health issues in your body and your home.
Mold Doesn’t Always Show Itself, but the Damage Is Real
I worked with a family who spent years in a beautifully renovated home in Leesburg. But over time, both parents began feeling tired all the time.
Their kids were constantly sick—coughing, wheezing, experiencing headaches, and suffering from nosebleeds.
Doctors blamed allergies, but the condition persisted.
Eventually, they brought in an air quality expert who discovered toxic black mold growing inside their HVAC system, which had been caused by years of condensation and inadequate maintenance. The entire family had been inhaling spores daily.
By then, their medical bills had accumulated, and their home was no longer a safe place to live.
They came to me for help. And we held the negligent seller—and the property management company—accountable.
What Hidden Mold Can Do to Your Health
Long-term mold exposure isn’t just unpleasant; it can also be hazardous.
It can trigger:
- Chronic respiratory problems (like asthma and bronchitis)
- Sinus infections and congestion
- Neurological symptoms like memory loss, confusion, and brain fog
- Skin rashes and eye irritation
- Immune system dysfunction
- Persistent fatigue or headaches
For the elderly, infants, or individuals with a weakened immune system, exposure to mold can be particularly hazardous—and even life-threatening.
You May Have a Legal Claim: Even If You Didn’t Know It Was Mold
In Virginia, you can sue negligent parties for toxic exposure, even if it’s hidden.
That could be a landlord, home seller, contractor or property manager who failed to address or covered up mold conditions.
As your lawyer, I will work with mold inspectors, medical experts and environmental professionals to identify the source, document your exposure and seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Home repairs or relocation costs
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term care for chronic illness
You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

I’ll help you find the truth, protect your rights, and hold the responsible party accountable.
