Colleen Garot, a mother of two, now requires around-the-clock care at a skilled nursing facility.
The county of San Diego has agreed to pay $9.5 million to a woman who suffered a debilitating stroke in the Las Colinas jail in Santee five years ago.
The largest settlement, $12 million, was paid earlier this year to the family of Lucky Phounsy, who died after being beaten, repeatedly tasered and hogtied during a struggle with sheriff’s deputies. Severe bruising around Garot’s left eye is visible on body camera footage. The condition, known as “raccoon eye,” should have been recognized as a sign of head trauma, said Garot’s attorney, Eugene Iredale.
“She was shaking all the time,” one woman who had been incarcerated with Garot told investigators. She said Garot did not realize where she was, repeatedly tried to open doors and wondered where she had left her purse.San Diego County will pay almost $8 million to man gravely injured in sheriff’s custody
Hoffman said it appeared few nurses knew how to perform such an exam, which asks about things like limb movement, speech and level of consciousness.
