Paloma Serna is embraced by attorney Grace Jun as footage of the last moments of Paloma’s daughter, Elisa Serna, is shown to members of the media during a press conference in downtown San Diego on Tuesday, July 2, 2024. The Paloma family will receive a settlement of $15 million in connection to Elisa Serna’s death.
Serna and her husband, Michael, who spoke remotely from his home in Montana, said they had insisted that the county impose new training standards on jail deputies and medical staff as part of any agreement to settle. They also demanded that better healthcare practices be memorialized in official policies.
The agreement resolves a wrongful-death claim the family filed in 2020, months after Elisa Serna’s death.
