Attorney Peter Kelley secures defense verdict for Registered Nurse and Hospital

Plaintiff brought this wrongful death claim alleging the nurse failed to recognize and respond to the patient’s change in condition and failed to activate a bed alarm and contact a physician to report the change. Further, the Plaintiff claimed the failures resulted in the patient getting out of bed undetected, falling, and suffering a subdural hematoma that resulted in death. The patient was survived by his wife and four children.

The jury returned its verdict finding no negligence by the nurse following a brief deliberation.
