Championing Justice for Military Families: Actual Case Triumphs
At Military Housing Lawsuit Help, we are dedicated to advocating for the rights of military families in the U.S. to have a safe, habitable home while living on base. We have teamed up with three leading law firms-Watts Guerra LLP, Pulman Cappuccio & Pullen LLP, and the Law Offices of James R. Moriarty-to represent hundreds of servicemen and women and their families who suffered terrible injuries caused by privatized military housing companies that were supposed to care for them but simply did not.
These case studies show that our legal advocacy has had a positive impact on military families as a whole, proving that vigorous legal action not only leads to compensation but also promotes change to the oversight system of military housing.
Mold-Induced Illness Defeated: The Ramirez Family, Laughlin AFB
The Ramirez family was stationed at Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas when they suddenly began to experience chronic ailments-ranging from recurring respiratory infections in their two small children, to debilitating migraines suffered by Mrs. Ramirez. Even after countless maintenance requests, base privatization Housing couldn’t manage to remedy the mold growing throughout their home, nor could they stop moisture intrusion.
After reaching out to Military Housing Lawsuit Help, the Ramirezes had a comprehensive case evaluation and legal consultation. Our team opened a mass-tort lawsuit against the housing company with evidence including medical and environmental records. The lawsuit led to a confidential settlement that provided medical coverage, relocation assistance, and pain and suffering compensation.
Of course, the most vital result of this case was the start of an extensive mold remediation process at the base, affecting the health of numerous other families as well. Now, the Ramirezes have emerged happy and healthy from the process in a safe environment, thankful for the circumstances which turned their living nightmare into lasting reform.
Exposing Lead Dangers: The Johnson Family, Randolph AFB
When the Johnsons, a young military family living at Randolph Air Force Base, learned their on-base home had significantly elevated levels of dangerous lead paint, they were terrified. The Johnsons’ three-year-old son Ethan was demonstrating elevated blood lead levels and showing signs of developmental delay. The housing company was slow to respond, antagonistic in the process, and the family felt they had no control.
When Military Housing Lawsuit Help was contacted, they received a free confidential consultation and immediate action was taken. Our attorneys-who have extensive landlord-tenant and complex litigation experience-negotiated a confidential settlement that provided money for Ethan’s medical care, remediation of their home, and ongoing developmental assistance. It also led to lead testing protocols for all future homes at Randolph AFB to better protect all families living on-base. The Johnsons’ bravery and our coalition’s expertise led to justice and change.
Making a Reckless Landlord Pay: The Williams Family’s Struggle for Justice
Just like other families, the Williams’ assumed their on-base home would be a safe haven for their beloved husband and father, Sgt. Williams, while he served in combat. Unfortunately, the family endured many months filled with water damage, pests, and broken appliances-all left unaddressed by the private housing contractor. The stress affected Mrs. Williams and the couple’s children, who suffered from chronic illness and anxiety disorders.
After reaching out to Military Housing Lawsuit Help, the family enjoyed a free case assessment and the counsel of attorneys with experience in military family matters and tenant rights. Our litigation team filed suit, gathered thorough documentation of the neglect, and fought on the family’s behalf. The settlement awarded reimbursement for property damage and medical expenses as well as mental health care and therapy.
The family’s lawsuit helped establish a new complaint process that was less volatile for families on base. Now, they represent continued progress towards improved military housing standards with this victory in hand.
Nationwide Impact: Class Action at Fort Liberty
In 2022, dozens of families at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) came together after years living with unaddressed maintenance issues on base, including problems with black mold, plumbing issues, and frayed wiring, in residences maintained by a large privatized housing company. Utilizing its superior resources and deep expertise in mass tort litigation, Military Housing Lawsuit Help led a class action lawsuit on behalf of over 50 families which resulted in a historic settlement providing medical compensation to the impacted families, immediate repairs of homes across the base, and also called for a third-party audit of housing conditions on the base.
This case has transformed hundreds of lives at Fort Liberty and set an example for military families around the country as well, showing how collective action and professional support are immensely powerful.
Sparking System-wide Policy Change: The “Smiths’” Advocacy Results in Reform
The Smith family initially fought a personal battle to secure justice after their daughter developed asthma caused by chronic water intrusion and mold at their on-base home. However, thanks to support from Military Housing Lawsuit Help, they turned their struggle into a broader cause for reform. We worked directly with the Smiths to document their story and file a lawsuit which brought them both compensation and awareness.
When the family testified before military housing oversight committees, through support arranged by our coalition, we helped convince policymakers to enact changes mandating greater oversight of private housing contractors and by implementing regular health inspections. The Smiths’ bravery-and our advocacy-was the right combination for ensuring that their fight ended up saving future military families from similar tragedies.
What These Win Cases Mean for Military Families Nationwide
Every case we work on at Military Housing Lawsuit Help is not just a means to an end, but rather a path to safer, more dignified housing for all military personnel and families. The combination of our coalition’s collective legal knowledge, military industry experience, and tireless advocacy has led to the recovery of millions of dollars in compensation as well as home repairs and the enactment of sweeping procedural changes at bases nationwide.
And in each case filed, we bring a message for these privatized housing companies: Our heroes deserve safe, dignified base housing-and it’s time the law holds you accountable.
