We provide full-service legal support in habitability and toxic exposure cases, including:
Investigation: Identifying the source and scope of environmental hazards, including black mold, persistent leaks, lead paint, and other violations of health and safety codes.

Settlement: Guiding clients through negotiation, mediation, or litigation to resolve disputes and enforce habitability rights.
Understanding Toxic Tort and Habitability Laws
Under California Civil Code § 1941.1 and related statutes, residential dwellings must be maintained in a condition that is safe, sanitary, and fit for human habitation. When owners fail to uphold these standards, affected residents may have the right to pursue legal remedies, including monetary damages, relocation assistance, and injunctive relief.
These cases frequently involve:
Mold and Moisture Intrusion: Unresolved leaks and water damage leading to mold growth and respiratory issues.
Toxic Building Materials: Exposure to lead-based paint, asbestos, and other hazardous construction elements.
Chemical Fumes and Contaminants: Improper use or storage of industrial products, pesticides, or cleaning agents resulting in indoor air quality violations.
