The family of a Georgia woman who died after falling out of a police car has filed a lawsuit alleging gross negligence in the 2022 incident.
The lawsuit announced Wednesday alleges gross negligence, excessive force, wrongful death and other claims.The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, but the civil complaint does not specify an amount.
A request for comment from the sheriff's office or on its behalf through Hancock County government late Wednesday was not immediately returned. Grier's family has said that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and that she was on medication for the disorder. She was having a mental health episode and her mother called authorities for help at their home, her attorneys have said. In the past, an ambulance arrived, Crump said.
Grier’s mother, Mary Grier, said Wednesday that her daughter’s two children sometimes ask where their mother is. “I tell them the truth: She’s gone home to be with God,” she said. “They knew her condition, they knew it. Because that wasn’t the first time they were coming down there,” Mary Grier said. “I don’t think they did her right. I miss my daughter."
