42 Usc 1983 Complaint
Summary
A Bayfield County 911 dispatcher delayed emergency response for a potential overdose victim, failing to inform police and EMS of the victims condition for fourteen minutes. This delay, compounded by an additional two-minute wait for EMS to receive critical details, resulted in the ambulance arriving twenty-five minutes after the initial call. The victim could not be revived, leading to their death. The complaint argues that these actions constitute negligence and a violation of the victims due process rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The decedents parents, acting pro se, seek justice for this breach of duty and the resulting harm.Full Conversation

when filing a * usc * complaint on a county employee, is the employee just listed in the complaint or is their employer the county also required?
When filing a * U.S.C. § * complaint, it is generally advisable to list both the individual county employee and their employer, the county. This is because the county might be held liable under the theory of "Monell liability," which addresses issues of policy or custom leading to the violation.
Do you need help with any other specific details for your complaint?
Do you need help with any other specific details for your complaint?
can I have more information on "Monell liability,"
Sure, here's some information on Monell liability:
- Monell v. Department of Social Services of the City of New York: This * Supreme Court case established that local governments can be sued under * U.S.C. § *.
- Liability Criteria: A local government can be held liable if the unconstitutional action implements or executes a policy statement, ordinance, regulation, or decision officially adopted and promulgated by that body’s officers.
- Custom or Practice: Even without a formal policy, a government entity can be liable if a widespread practice that, although not officially authorized, is so permanent and well-settled as to constitute a custom or usage with the force of law.
- Proof of Causation: The plaintiff must show that the policy or custom was the "moving force" behind the violation of their constitutional rights.
