In Family v. Bay Area County (U.S. Dist. Ct.) Khaldoun Baghdadi and Kelly Ganci represented the surviving spouse and children of a woman who died while a prisoner at the County’s jail. The decedent experienced a drug overdose while incarcerated and left unattended in her cell for over four hours. Khaldoun and Kelly demonstrated that the jail staff failed to conduct appropriate welfare checks, misrepresented the frequency of welfare checks in their written logs and failed to intervene in the decedent’s overdose, all in violation of the decedent’s civil rights. The team retained a toxicologist who opined that naloxone intervention at almost any point during the four hour window would have saved the decedent’s life. Khaldoun and Kelly negotiated a $2 million payment to the family after litigating the case for over one and one-half years.
