The $42 Million Tick Bite § March 27, 2013: A jury in Bridgeport, Connecticut, awarded a student and her parents $41. 7 million in damages after she contracted encephalitis from a tick bite on a school hiking trip near Mount Panshan in China. § The judge found the school negligent by “failing to warn students and parents that they could be subject to insect-transmitted disease in China, failing to ensure students took insect bite precautions before and during the trip, failing to include medical personnel on the trip, and failing to make advance arrangements to return any injured or ill students to the United States”. How would a Department or Agency deal with this? Source: Connecticut Post online (www. ctpost. com/local/article/Jury-awards-42 M-in. Chinese-tick-bite-case-4389978. php) (C) i.
