This is a question I have been pondering a lot, and the way I see it,

this is the most probable:

It seems as if there is a 'solution' for many in the world of contract

law. What will be done is that when you rent an apartment or buy a

home, you will have to agree that you take it 'as is' and that any

renovation work, medical expenses, etc. due to mold are due to your

own inability to see inside the walls of the building before you

bought it, and are your fault, nomatter how long they have been there.

Some buildings may be sold as 'certified mold free' at a *substantial*

extra cost. All other houses will be 'as is'.

At one point they will declare that all mold problems from the past

will be given an 'amnesty' and all future claimants will need to sue

under a 'no fault' system and will take their awards from a national

'pool' which they will then seriously underfund.

People will be prohibited from suing in any other court and the

damages will be capped at $10,000 per human life lost. (less for

non-incapacitating diseases)

The same thing will happen with schools. Public schools, because they

are free, will be immune from mold claims because people will be

limited to recovery of 'what they have spent' on something, and public

schools are free.

People sending their kids to private schools will be able to 'choose'

'certified mold free' schools, *at extra cost*. If they 'choose' to

send their kids to a moldy school, their kids may have a cause of

action against them when they turn 18 for depriving them of a

mold-free environment. But only if their parents had a responsibility

for other reasons, say if their parent was the custodial parent in a

divorce and the child received child support from the non-custodial

parent.

This is what the 'ownership society' is all about. People will have

the RIGHT to CHOOSE MOLD FREE SCHOOLS if that is their CHOICE. (and

they can afford the extra cost, and there is one in their community,

which they also chose to live in, using their free will.)

God bless America!

But, no, there isn't a fair solution in contract laws.

At least for a person who is not wealthy. They try

to spread the fact that mold victims are just out

there looking for money, they want to make people

think it's easy to start a mold lawsuit. I am a victim

of a condo association that wanted to kill me rather

than face the truth, because they knew they would

suffer financially, and they have such criminal minds

that they would rather people get sick, ignore the

walls that are black and rotting, swarming with

carpenter ants, and they paint over the rot.........I

wonder if people are getting the picture. The

building inspector and almost everyone in the town

knows it is happening, but nobody is saying or doing

anything about it. Waiting almost three years with no

end in sight is another punitive damage for me. They

are still getting away with it and selling the places

to unwary buyers. But, I guess this is happening all

over the country in condos, houses, tents?, There are

many victims of everything now. I have heard a lot of

the stories of struggle on these boards.

But, I do think your idea is correct in that the

insurance companies are probably trying to lessen the

damages they know are coming. I would see that as a

very likely prediction in how the insurance companies

will handle this. That is for as long as they can

get. That is why they pay off doctors like Bardana

who writes for MD, to skew the facts from the public a

while longer. Doctors are getting kickbacks....

Happy Holidays to all, and keep fightin' the battle of

helping each other and spreading the word.

Mold is something that can be prevented, hurricances

we can't control.
