Hot Bench Season 2 Episode 89 Toxic Mold Eye Test!
- December 4, 2015
In season 2 episode 89 of Hot Bench, titled "Toxic Mold Eye Test!", Judge Tanya Acker presides over a case involving a woman named Tiffaney who claims that her apartment complex had toxic mold that caused her to develop a severe eye infection. The defendants, the apartment complex owners, argue that they are not liable for Tiffaney's medical bills.
Tiffaney tells the judges that she noticed mold growing in her bathroom and reported it to the apartment complex management. However, she claims that they did not take the mold seriously and failed to properly remediate it. As a result, Tiffaney developed an infection in her left eye that required multiple surgeries and caused her to miss work for months.
The defendants argue that Tiffaney did not report the mold until several months after it had initially appeared, and that she failed to follow proper cleaning procedures to prevent the mold from spreading. They also present evidence that Tiffaney had a pre-existing medical condition that potentially contributed to her eye infection.
As the judges hear testimony from both sides, they investigate the severity of the mold and whether the apartment complex took appropriate measures to address it. Judge Acker also examines Tiffaney's medical records to determine the extent to which the mold may have contributed to her eye infection.
Throughout the episode, the judges engage in spirited debates about the legal and medical aspects of the case. They weigh the evidence presented by both sides and ultimately issue a ruling on whether the apartment complex was responsible for Tiffaney's medical bills.
Overall, "Toxic Mold Eye Test!" offers a compelling look into the ways in which landlords and property managers may be held accountable for the health and safety of their tenants. The episode also highlights the importance of proper remediation and healthcare measures when dealing with toxic substances like mold.
