US EditionJury finds hospital liable in $220 million 'Take Care of Maya' case
- A jury awarded damages of over $211 million to the Kowalski family after Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital falsely imprisoned a 10-year-old girl and contributed to her mother’s suicide. The hospital questioned the girl's diagnosis and called the state abuse hotline.
- Maya Kowalski, now 17, testified about her separation from her mother and how the hospital prevented her from attending a court hearing unless she agreed to be photographed. Psychiatric experts testified that Maya and her family suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder due to the trauma they endured.
- Damages were awarded for the hospital's decision to place Maya in a room with video surveillance, strip her down, and photograph her without consent. A hospital employee also engaged in inappropriate conduct with Maya. The hospital may be required to pay punitive damages for false imprisonment and battery.
