James Hellard alleges that the city, by “forcing” him to live at a site under Highway 101, is subjecting him to potential hearing loss from the traffic.
A resident of the city-sanctioned homeless camp under Highway 101 in San Rafael is suing the city and Caltrans alleging that exposure to freeway noise and pollution has led to hearing loss and risk of illness.from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which states the World Health Organization recommends that noise exposure levels should not exceed 70 decibels over a 24-hour period and 85 decibels over a one-hour period to avoid hearing impairment.
“I am currently suffering permanent hearing loss and am inhaling dangerous amounts of freeway related gasoline exhaust due to defendants willful and wanton disregard for my welfare,” the suit says. “The legal community needs rise up to represent victims so they can receive just compensation and hold their persecutors accountable in a class-action lawsuit,” Powelson said.
