Recent Disability Litigation from Around the Country

We periodically receive updates on litigation from around the country related to disability supports and issues from Gary Smith, the Senior Project Director with the Human Services Research Institute. His most recent email included:
Among the developments covered in this report are:
  • A new lawsuit that has been filed in Massachusetts by people who have experienced a brain injury contending that the state’s policies are at odds with the Olmstead decision by denying them the opportunity to receive services in the most integrated setting

  • Court approval of the several settlement agreement in the long-running Ohio Martin litigation
The status of several other cases has been updated as well.
The most recent update of the litigation status report can be found by going to the Human Services Research Institute's website.
