Kolman Law PC achieved a landmark settlement of $2.09 million in a case involving the violation of civil rights of a prisoner in Pittsburgh, PA. The case revolved around the Estate of DB, a 28-year-old inmate who tragically passed away due to denied medical treatment. The former medical provider of Allegheny County Jail agreed to pay $2 million to resolve a wrongful death lawsuit, while Allegheny County Jail itself settled for $90,000 in response to a suit filed by the deceased's parents.
A nurse working at Allegheny County Jail had persistently alerted Attorney Timothy M. Kolman about her futile efforts to secure adequate medical attention for DB. Despite repeated pleas from jail employees to examine DB, medical staff consistently disregarded these requests. When Attorney Kolman relayed the nurse's concerns to DB's parents, Debra and Earl, their suspicions were sadly confirmed.
Timothy M. Kolman, Esquire, founder of the Kolman Firm, initiated legal action by filing a Civil Action Complaint (13-cv-00179) on February 1, 2013, followed by an Amended Complaint on April 1, 2013, on behalf of the Administrators of the Estate of DB in Federal Court, Western District of Pennsylvania. The Kolman Firm boasts a distinguished track record in handling cases of Prison Death and Civil Rights Violations for incarcerated individuals, establishing itself as the go-to firm for such matters.
