Large, six-figure settlement

An elderly woman from Erie, Pennsylvania, who was a resident of a nursing home suffered a fall in the hallway when she was knocked over by a swinging door. The fall caused a hip fracture, which required surgery to repair. Unfortunately, the elderly woman died one week after the surgery. We successfully proved that the nursing home knew of other, similar accidents and should have changed the design of the door long ago in order to prevent accidents of this sort. A large, six-figure settlement was obtained as a result of the wrongful death claim we filed.
