Salt Lake County settles out of court for jail death, pays $1 5M to Breanna Jimenez's mom

Описание: SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Salt Lake County paid $1.5 million dollars to the mother of Breanna Jimenez to resolve her wrongful death lawsuit against the County.

The lawsuit alleged jail employees caused her death on June 17, 2019, following an accidental overdose and violated her constitutional right to receive medical treatment for her severe life-threatening medical emergency, citing “the attitude of its employees and administrators is one of callous indifference toward human life.”

It has taken almost four years for a resolution in this case with the settlement money coming from the county’s risk management fund with the County admitting no liability or wrongdoing and releasing all claims against those named in the lawsuit.
