Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 One of the reasons that a lawyer might not be able to take a suit is because of lack of NEXUS which is the causal proof that is required. If you have no biopsy and just reading that Univ. of Fl is going to work with a couple of hospitals Brigham and Womens alongside others, mentioned a possible urine test which would be fabulous, and non invasive. Then you need to have the exposing mold match exactly what they found in your body. It is truly a tough task. Finding the right doc who knows what they are doing and beating back the other powers that be make it really hard. Then you get into the whole victim-blaming game... Not enough lawyers really have their arms around the problem. To get to first base, you have to have the NEXUS. And, an expert witness who is qualified in that state to speak to the exposure. That expert has to blow holes in the defense, usually the insurance people, who have deep pockets and whose job it is to minimize their exposure. They have people and lawyers who work for them full-time for defense work. The plaintiff has to bankroll the expenses and even if it is done on a contingency fee basis, where if the case prevails, the lawyer gets a percentage of the proceeds, and that would be after the appeal period. The Civil Action movie is the perfect example of the risk involved for the lawyer. We have all been out there on the limb. Unless the lawyer is really informed in this area, he or she climbs out there, subject to the prospect that the limb will be sawed off by the defense. Unless the firm or the individual attorney can take the risk because their work volume and income is great, finding good counsel for any case will be tough. Their is no safety net for them, either. It can be very discouraging for both sides, even if the lawyer would really love to take a mold case, financial risk can be too great.
