Court of Appeals of Washington November 10, 2015, No. 45748-2-II (Albertson v. Washington ex rel. Department of Social & Health Services)

Sutton, J.

¶1 — ARB, through his guardian ad litem, Dan Albertson, sued the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) for negligent investigation of alleged abuse by his father, Jacob Mejia. A jury found that DSHS was negligent in its investigation of ARB’s injuries but that its actions were not a proximate cause of ARB’s injuries.
