Nursing Home – Wrongful Death
Our client suffered a series of falls at a nursing home facility and was diagnosed with a serious head injury. She later died which her family contended was a result of her fall-related injuries. Attorneys Rachel Fuerst, Jordan Godwin, Carma Henson, and Thomas Henson, Jr. handled the case and settled the lawsuit in March 2023 for $4.25 million dollars. The medical malpractice lawsuit included claims of administrative/corporate negligence and punitive damages. The names of the parties and location of the lawsuit are confidential.
The case was defended by defense counsel representing the defendants and their insurance carrier. The settlement was reached after suit was filed, depositions were taken, a mediated settlement conference, and with trial pending. The settlement amount was fully collectible.
