2016Annie Doe v. Woe Nursing Home (2016)
Doe, age 87, was totally dependent upon one staff for bathing. She was bed bound and had contractures of her extremities. While preparing Doe to be transferred from bed to her chair, the CNA negligently positioned Doe on the edge of the bed, turned her back on Doe, and went to retrieve a washcloth on a nearby table. Doe slid out of bed hitting the floor and fracturing her hip. Doe’s hip fracture had to be surgically repaired. She died six months later from the effects of the hip fracture. The parties settled at mediation prior to trial for $450,000.00.
