Christie Pabarue Attorney: Toxic Mold Litigation May Soon Compare With Asbestos Cases; March 27 Conference Highlights Serial Litigation `Wave'

PHILADELPHIA, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- According to J. Lynch, a trial attorney with Philadelphia-based Christie Pabarue Mortensen and Young who represents insurers and contractors in toxic mold actions, the new wave of mold litigation cases may soon compare with the incendiary asbestos cases of the last decade.

Lynch will be a speaker at the March 27, 2002 Toxic Mold: The Next Six Months audio conference sponsored by Publications, a leading legal publishing house. The audio conference begins at noon eastern standard time. Participants can register online for the audio event at http://www.andrewspub.com or call (877) 595-0449. The cost of the conference is $219 per phone line.

Lynch is also co-author of an authoritative Mealey's Publication article on toxic mold, Mold: Serial Litigation Strikes Again, with environmental engineer Kurt B. . A free copy of the article is available upon request by contacting Lynch at PJLynch@....

The conference will be hosted by Lynch, a Christie Pabarue Mortensen and Young shareholder whose legal practice concentrates in the defense of toxic tort and professional negligence litigation; McCarthy, president of Environmental Health and Engineering, Inc. -- based in Newton, Mass. and one of the largest consulting firms worldwide addressing mold and indoor quality issues -- and C. , Jr., a founding partner of Charter, , , LLP of Sacramento, Calif. recently obtained a $2.7 million jury verdict in a mold case involving personal injuries.

A.A. Pabarue, a Christie Pabarue founder, sees the conference as further validation of the firm's emerging national reputation. ``Our firm is already a national leader in insurance and litigation matters,'' said Pabarue. `` is in the forefront of the next wave of serial litigation because of his expertise and experience in these issues.''

Lynch, noting increased media attention and spiraling jury awards associated with toxic mold, claims serial litigation is a ``bet-the-company'' problem for regulatory agencies, insurers, agents and builders across the nation. ``Increased premiums are only part of the problem,'' Lynch pointed out. ``The real impact is yet to come.

``Insurers, builders, contractors and others will soon face legal hurdles brought by sophisticated and experienced litigation lawyers,'' Lynch added. ``We are simply advocating an equally sophisticated defense in such matters.''
