The estates of four family members who were killed in a quadruple homicide sued two healthcare providers, alleging they failed to submit a required firearm prohibition notification after treating the shooter, who had a documented history of mental illness and prior involuntary commitment.
The jury found that the healthcare providers failed to maintain adequate policies and oversight for submitting the required “gun forms,” and that this failure was a substantial factor in the deaths.
A Philadelphia jury awarded the plaintiffs $39.5 million, including $9.5 million in compensatory damages and $30 million in punitive damages. One healthcare provider was found responsible for 35% of the compensatory damages and all punitive damages, while the other had previously settled.
