Gallardo v. New Alternatives, Inc. CA4/3
This case arises from the tragic death of fifteen year old Erica Gallardo, who ran away from a group home operated by respondent New Alternatives, Inc., and then died from an overdose of methamphetamine six days later. The man who sold the methamphetamine to Erica later pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Erica’s father, Anthony Gallardo, sued New Alternatives, alleging it was liable for Erica’s wrongful death because it had negligently allowed her to run away from its facility.
