Attorneys from Wilkes & McHugh, P.A. represented the estate of Cheatum Myers, who suffered from multiple falls resulting in fractures while under the care of a Tennessee nursing home. The testimony proved that Mr. Myers' fractured hip, which resulted from his seventh documented fall in the facility, was not treated or x-rayed for seven days, and that subsequent doctor's orders regarding his fractured hip were not followed. Due to neglect by the understaffed nursing home, Mr. Myers also developed a Stage IV pressure sore, leg contractures, urosepsis and bilateral pnumonia. The jury awarded a $4.2 million verdict.
