$700,000 settlement for Negligent Inpatient Care
Philadelphia, Pa. (June 10, 2010) – $700,000 settlement for a man against several Defendants for negligence in failing to prevent, treat, and recognize a developing decubitus ulcer in Plaintiff’s sacrum during inpatient care. Plaintiff was previously paralyzed as a result of an unrelated motor vehicle accident.
After a week of hospital care, the man was transferred to a rehabilitation center. Proper protocols were not followed and Plaintiff’s bed sore worsened. Although the family made complaints and was reassured that the care would improve, it did not.
Due to Defendants’ negligence, Plaintiff developed infections including and required surgical procedures and inpatient and outpatient medical treatment. The case was handled by Irene M. McLafferty of Messa & Associates, P.C.
