$750,000.00 Settlement Nursing Home Negligence
2019 Confidential Settlement
The Plaintiff was a 69 year old retired widow who was transferred to the Defendant Nursing Home after hospital discharge which included complications causing her to become paraplegic. Plaintiff alleged that she was never properly evaluated by the Nursing Home and that she was not properly turned to prevent her from developing pressure ulcers/bed sores. The Plaintiff did develop a stage 4 (worst stage) bed sore over her coccyx as well as pressure ulcers on her heels, all of which required extensive medical treatment.
The case was mediated over several days and a $750,000.00 confidential settlement was reached.
