Thousands of people could see extra zeroes tacked on to their settlement checks later this month after the court approved a motion to more than double the value of claims filed in the wake of the Skilled Healthcare lawsuit says California Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer Steven Peck.

A Humboldt County jury found national nursing home chain Skilled Healthcare to be in violation of a state statute that mandates nursing homes maintain 3.2 nursing hours per patient per day. Staffing records showed the company chronically understaffed its facilities, including the five local nursing homes that Skilled Healthcare leased to Brius Healthcare last month.
