Ohio nursing home abuse lawyers on handling wrongful death cases

April 20th, 2010 Author: Anneke

Ohio nursing home accidents can be devastating. Our Findlay, Ohio nursing home abuse lawyers see horrible cases where elders are mistreated, neglected, and abused, often without a family member finding out before it’s too late.

According to the Jere Beasley Report, a Philadelphia jury returned a verdict for $5 million in punitive damages last month against Jeanes Hospital and a Wyncote nursing home in the death of a man who developed ultimately fatal bedsores while at both facilities. The damages - $1.5 million against Jeanes and $3.5 million against the Hillcrest Convalescent Home - came two weeks into the second phase of the trial after the same jury awarded $1 million in compensatory damages in the case.
