$450,000 Personal Injury Settlement with Assisted Living Facility
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. The assisted living facility failed to obtain appropriate treatment for his mental illnesses. After only a few days 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.
