We are pleased to announce that Strongin, LLP a personal injury law firm has secured a groundbreaking settlement on behalf of over 30 elderly individuals residing in a senior independent living facility in Hesperia, California. The defendants, Fairview Equity, LLC, Hesperia Senior Independent Living, LLC, and Martha Weibert, were found responsible for subjecting the plaintiffs to deplorable living conditions, including toxic mold, uninhabitable spaces, and general disregard for their well-being.
The plaintiffs, representing some of the most vulnerable members of our society, endured inhumane conditions such as exposure to toxic mold, rodent infestations, raw sewage leaks, non-functioning plumbing, and more. Despite repeated requests for repairs, the defendants failed to maintain the property and even engaged in retaliatory actions against those who voiced concerns. Tragically, four plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit have already lost their lives due to illnesses associated with these wretched living conditions.
The $2.5 million settlement reflects the severity of the defendant's negligence and elder abuse. The plaintiffs, who are predominantly senior citizens living on limited means, faced immense hardships and suffered severe health consequences as a direct result of the defendant's actions. The defendants' failure to disclose the presence of toxic mold and their deceptive claims of a safe living environment further exacerbated the plaintiffs' plight.
The settlement serves as a significant victory in the fight for justice and accountability. It not only compensates the victims for the harm they endured but also sends a powerful message that slumlords will face consequences for exploiting vulnerable individuals. Our law firm remains committed to representing plaintiffs in personal injury cases, particularly those involving elder abuse, toxic torts, and unsafe living conditions.

$2.5M Settlement Reached for Elderly Victims
Title: Seeking Justice for Elderly Victims: $2.5 Million Settlement Reached in Mold and Toxicity Lawsuit
Summary: Our personal injury law firm, dedicated to representing plaintiffs, has successfully secured a $2.5 million settlement on behalf of over 30 elderly individuals living in a senior independent living facility in Hesperia, California.
The defendants, operating under the names Fairview Equity, LLC, Hesperia Senior Independent Living, LLC, and Martha Weibert, demonstrated a complete disregard for the well-being of their residents. These vulnerable seniors endured deplorable living conditions, including exposure to toxic mold, vermin infestations, sewage leaks, and non-functioning plumbing, among other hazards. The defendants not only failed to maintain and repair the property but also engaged in retaliatory actions against tenants who voiced complaints.
The persistently wet building materials and unaddressed leaks created a breeding ground for toxic mold and bacteria, resulting in severe health consequences for the plaintiffs. Four plaintiffs have tragically lost their lives due to illnesses associated with the conditions at Avenue G. Our law firm fought tirelessly to hold the defendants accountable for their negligence and elder abuse, shedding light on the hazardous and uninhabitable state of the property.
Despite the defendants' attempts to conceal the mold problem and misrepresent the safety of the property, our firm successfully demonstrated their knowledge of the harmful conditions and its refusal to take proper remedial action. Mold tests confirmed the presence of highly toxic molds, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Chaetomium, and Stachybotrys, exacerbating the health risks for elderly residents.
The settlement serves as a victory for justice and a message to slumlords who target vulnerable populations. Our firm remains committed to fighting for the rights of plaintiffs affected by personal injuries, ensuring their voices are heard and compensation is obtained for the damages they have suffered.
