Nursing home neglect leads to wrongful death causing suffering attributable to maggots, pressure sores, dehydration, malnutrition and sepsis.

In this rather gruesome case, the plaintiff suffered maggots in her body, pressure sores, dehydration and malnutrition, multiple infections and sepsis that led to her death.

Defendants failed to adequately and appropriately assess changes in her skin, nutritional status, weight loss, hydration status and infections.

This Nursing home defendants’ conduct was willful, malicious and/or committed with reckless disregard for the rights and safety of the plaintiff causing substantial harm.

As a direct and proximate result of their willful, oppressive and reckless conduct, this nursing home defendant should be held liable to plaintiff for general damages, punitive damages and attorney fees.
