Our firm just recorded several verdicts in June 2007 of interest.
Two Nursing Home Verdicts
against Kindred : $750,000 for verbal and physical abuse.
On June 4, 2007 two Plaintiffs represented by Hamill Law office
were awarded verdicts in Nursing Home Abuse cases:
Client Clara H. was a 105 Nursing Home patient who we were able
to prove was changed 'roughly' and inappropriately by a certified
nurse aid. The Judge found that the abusive change was 'not isolated'
and awarded her estate $300,000 for emotional distress. There
was no seperate claim for personal injuries.
Jim H. was an 86 year old Nursing Home patient who was also changed
'roughly' in a manner that was painful and inappropriate. The
Judge found that the abusive change was 'not isolated' and awarded
his estate $450,000 for emotional distress. There was no seperate
claim for personal injuries.
Both clients had been dementia patients who were deceased at
the time of trial. Both Verdicts were against Kindred healthcare.
