Re: about filing legal claims, NTMC, Please read....

I believe you missed an important point concerning winning a toxic

mold case. There is a limitation of time that from the point a tort

was committed or state of knowledge the illness was discovered and

the time required to file suite against the negligent party. Lets

not alow the children go untreated and lets keep the pressure on the

insurance companys and CDC. Also there are special provisions for

children, where the child can continue the parents efforts after the

child has become an adult. It is important for all individuals to

gather your facts and seek legal help as soon as possible in order

for the dates to be established. You are correct that your group is

entitled to be compensated for your time spent on their behalf. If

these attornys do file class-actions suites they will have to post

notices for others to join the class action, i.e. put thier name in

the hat. I believe these are usually handled on a contingency

basis. If your group does not wish to name the attorney's that the

NTMC has acquire, then I would recommend a local counsel be used

getting the files prepared for the suit to be filed. The individual

can always fire the present attorney ane retain another attorney even

after the suit has been filed. There should not be anything

preventing the individual from having a suit and also being included

in a class action suit. Thats what we pay the attorny's to figure

it all out . Like everyone knows the laws are very confusing. I

believe we will soon have baseline laws on the books concerning what

is just unacceptable living and working conditions. From what I can

tell the insuance companies are stating to look very pathetic in the

eyes of the american consumer. That may be why they are turning to

third world countries, where the market is not soft. It's my

perception that we the consumers are veiwed by the corporate

industrial giants to be disposable goods like the products that they

are more than willing to lie about.
