80 year-old Woman Attacked in Nursing Home
N/AOUTCOME: $200,000.00
Christopher C. Cortese of Morici, Figlioli & Associates obtained a settlement of $200,000.00 against a suburban nursing home on behalf of an 80 year-old Plaintiff who was attacked by a co-resident at t ... he Defendant’s facility. Without warning, the Plaintiff was punched twice in the head while she rode the elevator within the Defendant’s facility. As a result of the attack, the 80 year-old Plaintiff sustained an intracerebral hemorrhage, a non-displaced left occipital condylar fracture, and a laceration to her forehead that required stitches. During the investigation, Morici, Figlioli & Associates was able to uncover damming evidence that the police had been called to this long-term care facility hundreds of times in the four years preceding the attack on the Plaintiff. This included a report where the co-resident offender in this case, had attacked somebody in the lunchroom approximately two months prior. This matter was settled before the Honorable Judge John Callahan in a pre-trial conference after the Plaintiff’s deposition.
