My mom died 2 1/2 yrs ago after a long long illness. Toward the end of her life she was sent to a hospital for hip surgery and then to a rehab nursing home to get her walking again.
She always complained of the pain from the excercise program and eventually was unable to walk. She developed a bed sore that led to septic poising then died. The nursing home doctor put congestive heart failure as the cause of death.
We took pictures of the wound(bed sore). Her primary doctor was shocked at the wound and said it was the worst he'd ever seen and that she died of nothing he was treating her for over the years.
We contacted an attorney and it took them almost 2 years to review her case and decided that not only was the nursing home negligient but also the hospital. Seems that the hospital never fixed the hip correctly in the first place . Then the nursing home was making her hip worse and she then developed the bedsore and then she died..
The law firm filed a motion a few months ago.I don't know if this is a wrongful death lawsuit, or negligience or whatever
What happens next?
This is all I know about the case. I have relatives handling this matter and I seem to be on a need to know basis.
