Step One: Secure Medical Documentation Immediately

The most urgent and essential step in protecting your health and building a strong legal case is to obtain official medical documentation. Without it, you risk losing the foundation of your claim. Courts, insurance companies, and opposing attorneys demand evidence that your symptoms are real, documented, and tied to the exposure or unsafe conditions you’ve endured.

Medical Examination: A licensed physician must evaluate your symptoms and create a clinical record.

Laboratory Testing: Objective results confirm the presence of toxins, infections, or organ stress caused by mold or environmental hazards.

Specialist Referrals: Pulmonologists, neurologists, allergists, and other experts can provide authoritative diagnoses that strengthen your case.

Failing to act quickly can mean losing valuable time—and credibility. Early documentation not only protects your health, but also locks in the evidence you’ll need for fair compensation. Every day you delay makes it easier for landlords, employers, or property managers to deny responsibility.

Act now. Your medical records are the foundation of your lawsuit. Without them, you have no case.
