Our 81 year-old client was living independently until she unfortunately had a stroke leaving her paralyzed on her left side and no longer able to care for herself. While living in a long term care facility our clients daughter noticed a large stage 4 bed sore. The wound was so large that it required two debridement surgeries to remove all the dead tissue. Eventually our client died due to the infection that developed. After obtaining the nursing home records we started a lawsuit to hold the nursing home accountable. After years of fighting, the nursing home ultimately settled the case for $1,800,000 rather than face a jury.
The case was handled by Managing Attorney Michelle Haber and Trial Partner Michael Feldman.
