Family Awarded $7.75 Million in Nursing Home Abuse Case

In Ventura County, a family was awarded $7.75 million for nursing home abuse that was caught on hidden video cameras. An employee is caught on tape slapping and abusing the nursing home resident who is a stroke victim. The family noticed suspicious bruises, and because the victim is unable to speak and the nursing home did not investigate the allegations, the family set up a camera. The family was awarded $2.75 million in actual damages and $5 milion in punitive damages.
