The MHPI was established in 1996 and was intended to improve the state military housing. What the MHPI did was hand over the ownership, construction, and maintenance of military housing to the private sector. Because of the MHPI, a lawsuit against a military housing landlord is not a lawsuit against the military.
The following property management companies are being named in legal claims:

Anyone who lived in privatized military housing and has health issues that can be related to conditions in that housing.
Yes. You can file a wrongful death lawsuit.
In Texas, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, in a case where a housing condition caused you illness, you would have two years from the date it was discovered that the housing condition caused your injury to file a claim.
That would depend on the extent and severity of your injury. When deciding how much compensation to ask for, your attorney will take into account the amount of money your injury has cost you and will cost you, as well the impact the injury has had on your quality of life in the future.
Each case is different. Some cases settle rather quickly, while others may take years.
No. You aren’t filing a claim against the military, you’re filing a claim against the private company that is responsible for maintaining the property.
No, this will be a “mass tort” lawsuit. In a class action lawsuit, the amount awarded is divided up evenly between each plaintiff. In a mass tort lawsuit, the courts divide the award individually among the plaintiffs. In other words, a plaintiff who’s suffered greater losses will be awarded more than a plaintiff who’s suffered less loss.
You pay no upfront costs or retainers; we’ll represent you on a contingency basis. If we win, we’ll be paid a percentage of your award. If we don’t win, we won’t get paid.
