"The latest settlement includes about $2.3 million for Monk's 22-year-old daughter, along with $250,000 for his 18-year-old son."
"That says a lot about the culture of Wellpath, and that certainly trickles down to the people who are delivering the care or not delivering the care as expected."
The health care provider Wellpath has agreed to a $2.5 million settlement regarding the 2021 death of inmate Maurice Monk, whose prolonged suffering went unnoticed in his cell. This settlement follows a $7 million payment from Alameda County, aimed at reforming inmate health checks. Monk's family, represented by attorney Adante Pointer, criticized Wellpath's handling of the situation, highlighting a lack of responsibility and care. The resolution offers some financial security to Monk's children as they cope with their loss, while Wellpath faces ongoing scrutiny and seeks to renew a significant contract with the jail amidst multiple lawsuits.
