Restoring Health and Stability for New Jersey Workers

Exposure to mold, poor ventilation, or chemical-laden indoor spaces can cause serious and lasting health issues. Known as Sick Building Syndrome, these conditions often lead to respiratory problems, chronic fatigue, and neurological symptoms that affect both work and daily life.

Schibell Law represents New Jersey employees who develop illnesses from mold and environmental hazards on the job. Our attorneys build cases with detailed medical evidence, expert testimony, and trial readiness — ensuring your benefits claim is supported at every stage.

What to Do if You Suspect Exposure at Work

Essential Actions to Take When You Think You’ve Been Exposed

Document Your Symptoms & Occurrence

Track when symptoms begin, worsen, or improve. Note whether symptoms ease when you are away from the workplace.

Seek Visible Signs of Mold or Moisture Issues

Photograph water stains, leaks, visible mold, or areas with poor ventilation.

Seek Authorized Medical Evaluation

A diagnosing physician must assess whether mold or air-quality issues are contributing to your illness. Workers’ comp requires evaluation through approved providers.

Report Exposure Concerns to Your Employer

Provide written notice that includes both your symptoms and any environmental issues you’ve observed.

Contact a Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Mold exposure claims are commonly disputed because symptoms develop slowly and resemble other conditions. Legal support is essential to connecting your diagnosis to workplace exposure and strengthening your claim.

Avoid Self-Remediation

Do not clean mold yourself, as it can worsen symptoms and complicate documentation for your claim.

Common Illnesses and Symptoms Linked to Workplace Mold & Sick Building Syndrome

A Breakdown of the Most Common Mold-Related Health Problems

Mold exposure and Sick Building Syndrome can affect workers differently depending on the building’s ventilation, moisture levels, and airborne contaminants. Symptoms often appear gradually and may fluctuate based on time spent inside the affected workplace.
Mold and SBS-related conditions commonly include:

Respiratory irritation, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness
Chronic sinus problems, such as congestion, infections, or persistent post-nasal drip
Headaches, dizziness, or concentration issues that improve away from the building
Eye, nose, and throat irritation caused by airborne mold spores or volatile compounds
Skin rashes or itching triggered by contact with contaminated surfaces or air
Worsening asthma or new-onset asthma symptoms
Fatigue, brain fog, or generalized flu-like symptoms
Allergic reactions that intensify during exposure to moisture-damaged areas
Worsening symptoms when HVAC systems circulate contaminated air

If you notice that symptoms ease during weekends or vacations and return when you are back in the workplace, this pattern may indicate mold exposure or SBS.

Mold-related conditions overlap with other exposure-based workplace illnesses. Explore our overview of New Jersey work injury types to understand how mold illness fits within the broader workers’ compensation system.
