West Virginia Wrongful Death Lawsuit Settlement

West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources has agreed to pay Logan Goodall's father $575,000 to settle a wrongful death lawsuit.

The West Va. Dept of Health & Human Resources paid $575,000 to the father of a 2-year-old child who died because of a wrongful death lawsuit.

The West Virginia DHHR failed to follow through on a child abuse case that turned into wrongful death.

The mother and her live in boyfriend were charged as was the boyfriend’s parents. The defendant’s father, a doctor, treated the child but failed to report the abuse and the defendant’s mother lied to the DHHR about the child’s whereabouts.

The parties settled out of court.
