Case Details
A young, autistic man died from a bowel obstruction due to the group home's negligence in failing to discover his deteriorating condition sooner.
Additional Notes
The case settled for $1,000,000, notwithstanding jury verdicts in comparable cases. A condition of the settlement required the group home to apologize to the parents. Legal issues involved limitations of the Massachusetts wrongful death statute regarding 'loss of reasonably expected net income' for an individual unable to engage in gainful employment.
