Why it matters
The case highlights issues regarding patient safety and accountability within private addiction treatment facilities.
Emily Willis' family has reached a massive settlement with the Malibu rehab facility where she suffered catastrophic brain damage ... but TMZ has learned she's slowly recovering.
Emily's mother, Yesenia Cooper, tells TMZ ... Emily is not verbal but can communicate with her eyes and by shaking her head -- she understands about 80% of what is going on.
However, her mom tells us she is improving, getting better day by day, and still fighting to live the best life possible.
As we reported ... Cooper sued Malibu Lighthouse Treatment in 2024, claiming the facility failed to properly care for Emily while she was being treated for ketamine addiction at Summit Malibu earlier that year. This week, they reached a $3 Million settlement -- the defendants denied wrongdoing and did not admit liability.
