to replace the errors posted here can be found in part by going to http://www.insure.com/.

At the top and to the left is a box that says "Need Advice? 3,000 articles". Type in "toxic mold" and press GO.

This will take you to a page where you can surmise that Farmer's decision to settle this recent mold case probably had more to do with the insurer losing a multimillion dollar law suit to a claimant that they had abused very badly. More information on that page about he public hearings held all over Texas on the subject of mold.

Earlier Allstate lost a similar case in California where they had a better chance of outlasting a 94 year old claimant. Stubborn old cuss; not only that he was right.

Don't be too quick to fall for the insurance company hype and you might also want to look for stories of public buildings in Texas having to be evacuated because of mold problems. Here is one from my files, google is likely to find more.

FORT WORTH, Jun 28
The state of Texas has shut down one of its Department of Human Services offices in Fort Worth, because of environmental concerns.

The DHS moved out of the location in the 6700 block of Locke Avenue after testing revealed a problem with air quality.

An employee had complained of breathing problems prior to that.
