The Legal News

I bet the big wigs who scoff the eldery residents in their nursing homes arent smiling now!

Many coporate executives and others figure that the seniors in their homes wont ever get a settlement of any substantial size due to age or preexistiong condition. enter the  case of an 81 year old man who was savagely beaten by the vioelent and mentally ill roommate he was assigned by nursing home staff.

In a few weeks the victim recovered, but he never recovered mentally and emotionally. He became a shell of his former self.  He was never the same. He died 3 years after the beating.

His family members brougth the suit against the nursing home. They descrive him as vibrant, and someone who enjoyed his family and friends to soemone who became withdrawn, apathetic, and frightened.

The family states that the home knew the other man was unstabe and violent, and he should have been discharged, but discharging that viloent man would mean less money for them. SO he was kept in the facility.

The defense attempted to downplay the injuries but medical records don’t lie. 150 million was in punitive damages alone.
