Disabled Man's Family Sues Care Centre

Introduction

A handicapped man reportedly died after being left alone in a vehicle at the Pensacola Developmental Centre, according to a complaint filed by his family. The victim's brain was harmed by jaundice when he was 10 months old, leaving him with developmental disabilities and non-verbal. He has been a full-time resident at Pensacola Developmental Centre since 1982. On June 22, 2022, while under their care, he passed away at the age of 66. He spent more than eight hours alone in a vehicle. The victim was supposed to be driven across the street to a Pyramid art program, but he never arrived. An attorney for the plaintiff filed a wrongful death complaint, accusing Pyramid and Pensacola Developmental Centre of negligence. Due to his limitations, he was unable to signal for assistance or belt or unbuckle himself, according to the lawyer. According to his family and attorneys, this action is the first step in determining how this occurred and putting his carers on notice of their responsibility. He died from hyperthermia, according to the Medical Examiner's postmortem report.
