Attorneys at Silver Golub & Teitell secured a $5 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit, which alleged that Bartlomiej Palosz died by suicide during his sophomore year of high school due to constant bullying in the Greenwich public school system.

The estate alleged in the lawsuit that the town of Greenwich and the Greenwich Board of Education failed to protect Palosz from being bullied and failed to follow the town’s mandatory bullying policy. This policy required staff to make an oral and written report to a school administrator, who would then investigate the bullying claims.
