Jail Inmate to Receive a $12.2 Million Settlement from a Minnesota County

Attorneys for a man held in the Scott County Jail back in 2020 say they have secured a settlement of more than $12 million for alleged indifference that nearly led to his death.

Robins Kaplan LLC will hold a news conference Wednesday to share details of the reported settlement with their client Terrance Dwayne Winborn, who was incarcerated when a jail nurse allegedly failed to provide proper care as he suffered from a bacterial infection.

Winborn’s attorneys say the nurse “allegedly failed to heed the many obvious warning signs of Mr. Winborn’s deteriorating condition and chose not to provide vital medical care in the critical hours while he was at the Scott County Jail.” As a result of the untreated infection, Winborn’s legal team says he suffered a heart attack, skin hemorrhages, toxic shock, and gangrene that ultimately led to the amputation of both arms.
