Were you injured by the mold? That is, were you sickened--and significantly--and/or incurred meaningful medical costs? If you were not, there is no point in suing; the legal system does not provide compensation for what could have happened, only for what did in fact occur; and without injury or medical costs, there's nothing for which you could receive compensation. If you were sickened or incurred medical costs, the amount you could recover would be related to the costs and/or the extent and duration of your illness.
