A lawsuit has been filed against the Southern Nevada Health Department,

formally County Health District.

The suit accuses the department of negligence, conspiracy, malicious conduct

and intentional acts resulting in mold poisoning from the health district

building on Shadow Lane in Las Vegas.

The suit claims a husband of one of the plaintiffs was poisoned by mold in

2007 and died of his injuries while working at the health district. His

widow and other plaintiffs claim to be the victims of cross-contamination.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs say they are considering a class action lawsuit

because others may have been affected. The health district tells Eyewitness

News it's not able to comment at this time because it's pending litigation.
