<<Mold has become a big concern among homeowners recently because of some

highly publicized cases. Melinda Ballard became a champion of policyholder

rights after a Texas jury awarded her $32 million against Farmers Insurance

Group

for mishandling her family's mold claims. In 2002, the Texas Court of

Appeals reduced the award to $4 million for property damage and punitive

damages. >>

Note: Melinda Ballard started _www.policyholdersofamerica.org_

(http://www.policyholdersofamerica.org) to assist homeowners with insurers who

don't pay

<<In addition, television personality Ed McMahon sued his homeowners insurer

for more than $20 million, claiming the company failed to remediate a

water-damage claim correctly and the subsequent exposure to mold led to his

dog's

death (Best's Review, February 2003). >>

Note: Who was the expert witness for Ed McMahon? Dr. Lipsey
