Wrongful death

Rogers v. St. Joseph's Hospital

Dec 11, 2014

OUTCOME: Plaintiff's verdict of $260,000

A Philadelphia Common Pleas jury awarded $260,000 to the family of an 83-year-old woman who died at St. Joseph’s Hospital after staff there failed to monitor her vital signs as she suffered an acute as ... piration event. A nurse’s aide who found Mildred Rogers unresponsive waited four to five minutes before seeking help from a nurse or doctor. By the time a nurse assessed her, Rogers was unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. Following delays by the nurse, doctors’ attempts to resuscitate the patient were unsuccessful. Rogers had suffered a number of illnesses before she entered the hospital in June 2012, including post-stroke symptoms, progressive dementia, aphasia, and muscle contractures, COPD, and chronic osteomyelitis. Braden Lepisto, an attorney with Kline & Specter, P.C., litigated the case. “This verdict demonstrates that no matter your age or prior health, all patients demand and deserve adequate care and attention from those entrusted with their very lives,” he said following the verdict.
