Re: mold
Worker's Compensation insurance coverage generally precludes an employee from suing an employer for job-related injuries. There may be exceptions for an employer who negligently or deliberately causes an employee to be subjected to an obviously unheathful situation which results in actual physical harm.
If you were injured by exposure to mold consult a personal injury lawyer in your area. Initial consultations/case evaulations are usually done at no cost - ask first.
Good luck.
