Attorneys from Wilkes & McHugh, P.A. represented the estate of Noyes Hanscome. Mr. Hanscome was 52 years old and had bladder cancer. He was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and DVT's, so he was admitted to Evergreen Health and Rehabilitation Center for physical therapy.  During his stay he developed a Stage IV infected bedsore through which his tailbone was grossly exposed.  The facility was understaffed and they failed to provide doctor ordered treatments to help heal the wound.  Mr. Hanscome died prematurely as a result of the infected bedsore, leaving behind his wife and a 2 1/2 year old son.  Mr. Hanscome didn't die as a result of his bladder cancer, instead he died as a result of the abuse and neglect of those who promised to care for him.  This case was tried in Maricopa County, Arizona and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff, awarding $2,000,000 in damages.
