A Southern California family reached an $18m settlement with a school district after their eight-year-old son with Down Syndrome died from falling off a chair and severing his spinal cord while under the school’s care back in 2017, local news reported.
The attorney for Moises Murillo, who lived in La Puente, a city located about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, said Wednesday that because of the child’s disability, he was unable to move around or sit upright without the assistance of an adaptive stroller.
