Seven Figure Settlement

Rape

Seven-figure settlement for a 15-year-old child who was raped by a student in the school in Manchester, NH. It was alleged, among other causes of action, that the school was negligent in its supervision of the situation, violated Title IX, by being deliberately indifferent to the situation before it happened, and then in the manner in which it handled the situation after it occurred. The students entered an area of the school that was known to be uncontrolled and inaccessible to inspection, for which the school, it was alleged, had prior notice. It was in that area that this incident occurred.

Our Client sustained several injuries, including lacerations of the head, a left frontal scalp ecchymosis, neck sprain, back pain, knee pain, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
