$40 Million Lawsuit Filed in Abby Zwerner Case Against Newport News Schools
Today a $40 million lawsuit was filed in Newport News Circuit Court on behalf of our client Abby Zwerner. The defendants in the case include the Newport News School Board and certain administrators.
The lawsuit was announced on NBC's TODAY Show in an interview conducted by co-host Savannah Guthrie. Lead attorney Diane Toscano appeared alongside co-counsel on the case, Jeff Breit of law firm Breit Biniazan.
Said Toscano, “The Newport News school division had a duty to Abby. But they failed her miserably that day. As a result of their inaction, Abby was shot by a six-year-old student, and she will never be the same. She has endured four surgeries and still has a bullet lodged inside her. In addition to holding the school division accountable for its failures, this lawsuit is a means to deliver justice for Abby in this tragic but entirely preventable situation.”
