Nick Carusillo died when he was hit by multiple vehicles on a Georgia interstate, just days after he was abruptly discharged from an addiction treatment center.
Now his parents hope a substantial jury verdict in their favor will prompt change that helps others suffering from mental illness and substance abuse.
“It wasn't his fault. He was caught up in a bad system,” she said. “I'm hopeful that the size of this verdict makes a lot of people pay attention, from insurance companies to facilities to parents to loved ones to people seeking treatment.”Heather Saum Ware, a lawyer for the facility that released Carusillo — Metro Atlanta Recovery Residences, or MARR — said in an email that they “plan to appeal and are not commenting further about the ongoing litigation.
MARR released him to a sober living residence but failed to tell the owner about Carusillo's mental health issues, the filing says. Carusillo left the sober living house early the next morning in violation of curfew and was discharged that day. The owner of the sober living house dropped him off an an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
