Orange County Jury awards 3.1 million

Juries throughout the nation are fed up with nursing home abuse cases and the verdicts are showing it. Within the span of a couple of months one jury in Northern California awarded a $600 million verdict against a nursing home believed to be intentionally understaffing. The $3.1 million Orange County verdict was no surprise given the trend and most recently Georgia announced its highest award against a nursing home. $43 million was awarded when Morris Ellison, an 80 year old patient of the Moran Lake Nursing Home, fell several times. One fall resulted in him breaking his hip. The nursing home is accused of failing to notify his doctors of the injuries. This pattern is a tragedy and requires vigilance on behalf of loved ones in California nursing homes.
