Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home Abuse
Chris Laughridge v. Parkinson & May and Greenville Hospital System
Improper care during a high-risk delivery and inadequate staffing in the neonatal intensive care unit resulted in a child born with severe brain damage and profound mental retardation in this South Georgia case. First tried in 1992, the jury found for some of the defendants but could not agree on others; the judge declared a mistrial. Tried again in 1993, the jury found against both the obstetrician and neonatologist and awarded the plaintiff $5 million.
Jimmy Dell Bryant v. Brentwood Terrace Health Center, LLC
72 year old Jimmy Dell Bryant checked himself into a nursing home so he wouldn’t be a burden to his family. During his 11 month stay,there were at least 17 documented falls. After his 17th fall, Mr. Bryant was so lethargic that medications and food were “drooling out of his mouth.” Our attorneys filed suit alleging that the care fell below the minimum standards. The case settled for a confidential amount.
