Kelly Brodie, et al. v. Jerry R. Foxhoven, et al.
Date: 06-04-2025
Case Number: 24-0346
Judge: Craig M. Dreismeier
Court: District Court, Mills County, Iowa
Plaintiff's Attorney: Dwyer Arce
Defendant's Attorney: Iowa Attorney General's Office
Description:
Greenwood, Iowa personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff on wrongful discharge theories.
The five plaintiffs in this case are former employees who left GRC while this experimentation was going on. Each had a somewhat different job, and each departed GRC under somewhat different circumstances. They have sued the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS), the former director of DHS, the former director of the division of mental health and disability services in DHS, GRC, and the superintendent and medical director of GRC who were involved with the human experimentation.[1] They originally alleged claims of wrongful discharge in violation of public policy, conspiracy for wrongful discharge, violation of Iowa Code section 70A.28 (2020), and tortious interference with the physician-patient relationship. All of the claims were eventually dismissed by the trial court, and the plaintiffs have appealed only the summary judgment against them on the wrongful-discharge public-policy claim.
