Aria Health System has been hit with a roughly $5.7 million verdict after a mentally impaired man admitted for self-inflicted stab wounds was left alone and leaped out of a fourth-floor window.

The Philadelphia jury that heard plaintiff Charles P. Williams' case against Aria, owner of Aria Frankford and Torresdale Hospitals, where Williams was treated, awarded him $5.5 million for pain and suffering and $215,000 for economic loss. Williams' lawsuit claimed that Aria failed to properly monitor him under its care and failed to diagnose him as a suicide risk.

Williams was taken to Aria's hospital in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia at 4 a.m. July 17, 2014. Police initially thought he had been the victim of an assault and intoxicated by narcotics use, but a drug test came back negative, according to the plaintiff's court papers. Police later established that it was Williams who stabbed himself in the abdomen multiple times, though the wounds were superficial.
