I think a Monell claim against the City of San Francisco, based on the Single Decision Policy doctrine, could withstand summary judgment in Federal Court.

The Single Decision Policy doctrine allows municipal liability when "when a deliberate choice is made through various alternatives by an official or officials responsible for establishing final policy with respect to the subject matter in question."

Again, California jurisprudence is not South Carolina's, but I'd take her family's case if I practiced in CA and her family approached me.

As a full disclaimer, I'm a criminal defense attorney licensed to practice in the state of Louisiana, so I'm by no means an expert when it comes to the OP's question. With that said, what little I remember on the subject tells me that it would be one hell of a longshot to get past a MSJ, much less reach any kind of jury award.

But, I very well could be wrong
