You may come across leads reporting respiratory disorders or injuries due to black mold in their living space, such as rented apartments, hotels, or motels. If the lead claims negligence by the landlord or hotel owner and is seeking compensation, you can submit such leads under the Others Category.

Key Points:

- Lead's Description: Ensure the injuries and case details come directly from the lead. Avoid prompting or coercing specific information.

- Negligence Factor: The lead must explicitly claim negligence by the property owner or manager.

Example:

A lead might report experiencing chronic coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath while staying in a motel. They mention discovering black mold in their room and claim that, despite complaints, the motel management failed to address the issue. The lead then states they are seeking compensation due to the motel's negligence in maintaining a safe environment.

In this case, you should document the lead's description in the case notes carefully, ensuring all key information is accurately recorded without prompting specific details and submit the lead under the ‘Others Category’.
