About the Lawsuit

The complaint alleges, among other things, that “Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Acadia Healthcare’s business model centered on holding vulnerable people against their will in its facilities, including in cases where it was not medically necessary to do so; (2) while in Acadia Healthcare facilities, many patients were subjected to abuse; (3) Acadia Healthcare deceived insurance providers into paying for patients to stay in its facilities when it was not medically necessary; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.”

What is a Lead Plaintiff

A Lead Plaintiff is appointed by the Court to represents the interests of the Class in the lawsuit. This includes selecting the law firm prosecuting the case. Courts typically appoint the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A class member’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
