Elder Abuse Neglect

ELDER ABUSE/NEGLECT

$355,000

Our client was an elderly woman that suffered a fall at home. She was not injured, but was sent to a nursing home to improve her conditioning. Unfortunately, the nursing home and her doctor neglected to treat a skin condition that she had, which led to an infection and death. The defendants staunchly contested liability because of the severity of her underlying skin condition, but settled on the eve of trial.
