Ruling: |
Lowe
vs. Beverly Enterprises, Inc. |
| Date: |
May
21, 1996 (jury verdict) |
| Location: |
Florida |
| W&M Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys: |
Jim Wilkes, Kenneth L. Connor |
| Description: |
Nursing home neglect attorneys from Wilkes &
McHugh, P.A. represented the Estate
of James Earle Lowe in a case involving
what Mr. Wilkes called "outrageous"
and "reckless" conduct on
the part of the nursing home. Mr. Lowe
was subjected to substandard care and
outright neglect, and received one of
the largest verdicts ever in Florida
against a nursing home. The jury returned
a verdict of $2.7 million.
Beverly appealed, arguing that the Nursing
Home Resident Rights Statutes violated
both the Constitution of the United
States and the Florida Constitution.
Wilkes & McHugh, P.A. handled every
aspect of the appeal. The Appellate
Court, without comment, rejected the
nursing home's arguments and upheld
the verdict. |
