Settlement Involving Woman Raped at Public Hospital

G.W.'s husband was being admitted to a hospital in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  While he was being attended to, G.W. sat in the waiting room with family members.  After a period of time, she went for a walk in the hospital to calm her nerves.  While walking on the second floor, she was dragged into a bathroom and brutally raped, sodomized, and robbed, suffering physical and emotional injuries.  While there are security cameras within feet of where G.W. was attacked and raped, the hospital's position was that they were not working at the time of the attack and therefore, there was no security tape to review.

The parties were able to arrive at a pre-suit settlement.  The terms of the settlement were to remain confidential.

After my father's death my sister and I hired David Terry to represent us for a wrongful death case. David did a great job representing my family and gave us the upmost respect. David is very knowledgeable and fought hard for us, treating my family as though it was his. I feel fortunate to have found David and for him to have accepted our case. I highly recommend him to anyone who may need his services.
