Scott T. Ober was victorious following a two-week mold trial in Superior Court. The plaintiffs alleged that work performed by our client, a mason, and the co-defendant, a plumber, caused a flood in the basement of their home. The plaintiffs claimed that mold developed as a result of this water intrusion and that they suffered respiratory difficulties and cognitive impairment due to their exposure to mold. Lost earning capacity in the amount of $1,500,000.00 was further alleged. The jury returned a verdict after two hours of deliberations, finding no negligence and no breach of contract by our client.
