Ahearn v. Danbury Housing Authority (J.D. of Danbury – filed October 28, 2013) The housing authority repeatedly failed to protect its senior citizen residents at West Wooster from strangers entering the complex. Without proper door locks, surveillance, and security, the residents were badly exposed. The plaintiff, a lively but elderly woman, was severely beaten by an armed man who easily entered the complex. She suffered devastating fractures to her hip and sacrum, and head. As a result of this incident, Ahearn lost her independence and requires extensive rehabilitative care and has incurred costly medical expenses.
