Nursing Home to Pay $54M For Resident Who Bled to Death
As a Chicago Nursing Home lawyer I do not find this verdict surprising:
In the largest personal injury verdict in state history, a New Mexico jury awarded $54 million to the family of a woman who bled to death in her nursing home. The plaintiff's lawyer, Carl Bettinger of Albuquerque, was already well-acquainted with the defendant, having previously litigated more than half a dozen similar negligence trials against Manor Care, a nursing home chain based in Toledo, Ohio. After a two-and-a-half week trial, jurors found Manor Care liable for negligence and attempting to cover up the cause of death of 78-year-old resident Barbara Barber.”
