Nursing Home
Elderly Lady Dies Following Fall
We represented the family of an elderly lady who was a substantial fall risk with numerous prior
falls. Despite this risk, the nursing home facility failed to properly monitor, supervise, or protect
her. She had a severe fall causing a fracture to her neck. She died six months later from injuries
resulting from the fall. This matter was settled during mediation approximately four months
before trial. Confidential settlement.
Woman in Nursing Home Falls, Sustaining Fractures
An elderly woman in a nursing home sustained a broken leg, right shoulder dislocation and a
lumbosacral compression fracture at a nursing home. The nursing home denied any knowledge
of how she sustained these injuries. She ultimately died of pneumonia. The matter was settled
before trial for a confidential amount.

"Right after I suffered a head injury in a fall at one of the local casinos, I hired a lawyer that a friend referred me to because I thought one lawyer was as good as another. Soon I learned otherwise. It wasn't until the neuropsychologist I was seeing referred me to Ed Dougherty that I learned the importance of years of experience and expertise in a lawyer handling this kind of case. Since the settlement of my case by Mr. Dougherty, I have referred and continue to refer all other accident victims that I can to Ed Dougherty because I know he will handle their case with experience and expertise, and will treat them right, just as he did for me."
