A 42-year-old dependent adult suffered devastating neglect during a nine-week stay at a skilled nursing facility. Due to the facility’s failure to provide proper care, he developed multiple severe pressure injuries requiring multiple surgeries and extensive medical treatment over many months. As a result of the neglect, he was left with osteomyelitis of the tailbone and permanent, catastrophic tissue loss to his lower back and sacral area. The matter resolved for $189,519.92 against a congregate living facility for the elderly and $875,000 against a hospital, for a total recovery of $1,064,519.92.
