Our client, a 55-year-old dependent adult with known cognitive and mobility impairments, was a resident of a residential care facility. Despite repeated assurances that the facility was secure and equipped to prevent wandering, she was left unsupervised on a day when temperatures exceeded 100 degrees. She was later found unresponsive on scorching asphalt, suffering from second- and third-degree burns over nearly half her body. Staff failed to render appropriate emergency aid, and she died hours later. A police investigation confirmed gross facility neglect. This case settled confidentially for $1,000,000.00.
