Jury Verdicts & Settlements

Therapy Misconduct Suit Settled for $1.5M

Anderson sued Earl and the County for professional negligence, general negligence, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The defendants denied liability, citing statutory immunities, procedural bars, comparative negligence, and failure to mitigate damages. The case settled for $1,500,000, resolving all claims without admission of liability.
