It assists the attorney in investigating legal relationships of the adverse parties, engaging scientific and medical litigation experts, and determining the cause of the mold exposure. It also guides the attorney in choosing applicable theories of liability for the complaint, assessing both first and third party insurance coverage, resolving coverage disputes, evaluating a broad spectrum of potential damages, and limiting or disqualifying expert witness testimony. An important feature of this Action Guide is that it offers information on the latest mold science studies (including an appendix listing online resources for mold litigation); numerous cross-references to treatises supplementing the text that explain in greater detail how to litigate a construction defect action or a suit for breach of the implied warranty of habitability; how to choose, retain, prepare, and cross-examine expert witnesses; and how to pursue or defend an insurance bad faith claim for denial of coverage."--"Scope of guide" [p.ii].
