In Disabled Minor v. School District (D. Nev.) Khaldoun Baghdadi, Valerie Rose and Katherine Connolly represented a public school student who was physically abused in his Pre-K class by his special education teacher. The case was challenging because the child could not communicate the full extent of what happened to him due to the nature of his disabilities. As a result, the school district disputed the nature and extent of the abuse, and also blamed the child’s post-abuse behavioral struggles on his disabilities. Despite multiple procedural motions and counter-motions designed to limit the Walkup team’s ability to gather information, the case ultimately settled at private mediation for $2,000,000.
