olivia pic cropped2 $600,000 Settlement Reached in Wrongful Death at Beatrice State Developmental CenterA settlement has been reached in the case of Olivia Manes who died tragically at the Beatrice State Developmental Center on January 16, 2009.

Keating, O’Gara attorney Jefferson Downing, who along with Jim Bartimus and Mike Rader of the Bartimus, Frickleton firm in Kansas City, represented the Manes said, “This is a very, very good settlement. Both sides worked hard to achieve it.”

The settlement was approved by the State Claims Board today based upon the Department of Health and Human Service agency’s recommendation: “The Department believes that there was negligence in this case, and requests that the claim be approved in this amount.”

David and Tina Manes remain committed to seeing something positive come from their daughter’s death. “The Manes will continue to work for constructive change at BSDC. They are committed to seeing something positive result from their personal tragedy,” said Downing.

Since it is a matter of public record, the settlement agreement can be viewed here.
