$450,000 Settlement Against an Assisted Living Facility

In 2003, our client was admitted to an assisted living facility in Richmond suffering from mental illnesses. Without obtaining permission from his family or a qualified doctor, he was placed in a locked unit on the third floor of this facility. Without appropriate treatment for his mental illness, he jumped out of the window and suffered fractures in his back and a punctured lung. Unknown to his family, the facility was previously cited by the Virginia Department of Social Services for failing to secure the windows. Through our investigation we learned of the previous citations and that another resident had attempted to jump out the window.
