Lawsuit Filed For Nursing Home Death Against The Pillars Nursing Home
As we get older, we have to make difficult decision on how to care for elderly family members. Some people have the ability to take care of their aging parents or grandparents, but some rely on nursing homes to make the remainder of our family's life as enjoyable as possible. As a Missouri nursing home abuse attorney, I meet clients that are concerned for their family members' safety while in a nursing home. Recently an elderly woman from Florissant, Missouri, died in the hands of her nursing home and her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
Fannie Bell Brown was a resident at "The Pillars" nursing home, which known formally as the Spanish Lake Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Brown passed away on August 14th from a head injury that was sustained when she was dropped from a mechanical lift used to move patients on August 2nd. Brown's five children filed the lawsuit in St. Louis County Circuit Court.
The lawsuit filed by the Brown family claims that their mother's death is the result of the nursing home's failure properly train its staff and supervise the use of the mechanical lift that ultimately caused Brown's death. The nursing home has not commented on the lawsuit as the family seeks unspecified damages for their mother's death.
When you make the decision to allow a nursing home to care for your aging family member, you weigh all the possible outcomes. No one wants his or her loved one to be mistreated or die as a result of neglect in a nursing home. If you have lost someone you love as the result of someone else's negligence, you need an experienced Missouri personal injury attorney on your side.
