Case Summary

On June 8, 2006, an African American woman with psychiatric disabilities filed this complaint in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts against the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (“Beth Israel”) and two employees of the hospital (one whose claim was dropped on June 24, 2008). The plaintiff, represented by the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, Center for Public Representation, and private counsel, brought suit under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of …

On June 8, 2006, an African American woman with psychiatric disabilities filed this complaint in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts against the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (“Beth Israel”) and two employees of the hospital (one whose claim was dropped on June 24, 2008). The plaintiff, represented by the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, Center for Public Representation, and private counsel, brought suit under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. She also brought state tort claims for negligence, assault, battery, and intentional or reckless infliction of emotional distress. Specifically, the Plaintiff alleged that she had sought treatment for migraines from the Defendant institution on her doctor’s instructions. While under the Defendants’ care, she was forcibly restrained and assaulted. The Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on June 13, 2007.

The Plaintiff was an individual with a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act because her psychiatric impairments severely limit her day-to-day activities, including caring for herself, working, and interacting with others. Her disabilities stemmed from years of extreme emotional and sexual abuse as a child, and were exasperated by the death of her son shortly after he was born. Beth Israel was familiar with the Plaintiff’s condition, as she had used the clinical and emergency services to treat her conditions for more than two decades.

In March 2005, the Plaintiff began experiencing severe migraines and after several days, during which she spoke with her neurologist and his assistant, went to Beth Israel to meet with her primary care physician. This doctor was unavailable, but advised her to go to the hospital’s emergency department for treatment. After explaining to the triage nurse her symptoms and mentioning she had struggled with safety issues, the Plaintiff was told she needed a psychiatric evaluation and that her migraines would also be treated. Hospital policy at the time required patients in the psychiatric portion of the emergency department to disrobe or be forcibly stripped if they refuse.

The Plaintiff was ultimately forcibly restrained and stripped. She was left alone in the room for several hours before receiving treatment from a mental health professional. The incident caused severe and long lasting mental and emotional harm to the Plaintiff.

For the next two years the parties engaged in extensive litigation over discovery. On November 3, 2008, the Plaintiff moved for summary judgment, but the court never ruled on the motion because on January 13, 2009, the Parties notified the Court that they had reached a tentative settlement agreement and were finalizing details. On March 10, 2009, Judge Douglas Woodlock approved the agreement. We do not have the precise conditions of the settlement agreement, but the hospital agreed to implement a new search policy and a new restraint policy for patients. According to a jury verdict report from Lexis dating from June 4, 2007, the plaintiff was awarded zero damages. The Court retained jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement for two years, subject to extension for substantial non-compliance. No motions were filed suggesting non-compliance during the following two years, and the case was automatically dismissed as of March 10, 2011.
