Attorneys for Wilkes & McHugh, P.A., represented the estate of Harry Wilson. Mr. Wilson, who suffered from dementia, often wandered from his home, which necessitated him being admitted to the nursing home for his safety. During his stay at the nursing home, Mr. Wilson suffered from seven falls, one of which resulted in a broken hip. While in the nursing home, he also became malnourished, dehydrated, and developed large stage IV bed sores. In the end, a faulty piece of equipment contributed to Mr. Wilson’s death. These injuries were the result of the facility’s lack of adequate staff and supplies due to budgeting decisions made by Genesis Health Ventures, Inc., the parent corporation of Mayo Clinic. The jury returned a unanimous verdict of $3.5 million.
