In Washtucna, Washington, reports indicate that a local U.S. mail service office was shut down due to mold.  The town, which is quite small, discovered that its post office had mold last April.

Since that time, no mail delivery services have occurred.  Washtucna is just 80 miles west of Pullman.

Now, residents much commute 12 miles each way to a post office facility located in Hooper to pick up their mail.  According to postal officials, they are searching for a new location so they can continue mail services.  Until that time, residents will have to continue commuting to get their letters and parcels.

The presence of mold can be quite serious and lead to side effects such as allergies, coughing and in severe cases, it can lead to bleeding in the lungs and even death.

What is a toxic tort case?
A toxic tor case is a very unique type of personal injury lawsuit.  When people file toxic torts, the defendants are companies that manufacture or supply chemical products that have caused serious toxic injuries.  In order to move forward with lawsuits, plaintiffs need to prove that there is a connection between their suffering injuries and exposure to toxic chemicals, which can be extremely difficult to do.

What injuries can stem from exposure to toxic chemicals?
When people have been exposed to chemicals that are toxic in nature, they can suffer from a vast array of injuries and diseases.  Some of these dangerous diseases include:  cancer, lung disease, blood disease, respiratory disease and Mesothelioma.  People usually develop these diseases and injuries after inhaling, ingesting or absorbing toxins.
