Case Details

Settlement for minor children sexually abused after negligent placement in the custody of adults with a verified history of sexual abuse. Involved Eckerd Youth Alternatives, Inc. and The Devereux Foundation, Inc. Uncovered egregious failures including misrepresentations to court, ignoring prior abuse, and failure to monitor case files and background checks. A court ruled no cap on compensatory damages.

Additional Notes

Settlement after 3 years of litigation. Lawyers successfully argued to the Court that there should be no cap on the compensatory damages which the minor children could potentially recover from a jury.
