Case Details
Monk v. County of Alameda
Additional Notes
Lawyers for the People secured the largest settlement from the County of Alameda in a civil rights case and multiple training changes to the Santa Rita Jail on behalf of the family of Maurice Monk. Alameda deputies at the Santa Rita failed to provide medical care, forged observation logs, and literally tossed medication into the cell of Maurice Monk while him laid motionless, facedown for 3 days in the midst of a medical emergency. Three days later, when the deputies and nurses finally entered the cell and checked on Maurice he was dead. The County of Alameda settled but LFTP continues its fight on the family’s behalf against corporate giant WellPath that was supposed to be providing medical care via their nurses. “Alameda County to award unprecedented $7M to family of Oakland man left for dead at Santa Rita Jail”
