The executor of the estate of Jack Cornett, who died in 2008 while in the care of Richmond Health and Rehabilitation Complex, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the nursing home and three of its administrators, claiming that their neglect led to Mr. Cornett’s death.
Cornett was a resident of the nursing home for less than a year, during which time he suffered from multiple injuries and complications including:
- Dehydration
- Weight loss
- Poor hygiene
- Pressure sores
- Unexplained bruising
- Compromised nutrition
- Multiple falls
- Infections
- Physical and mental pain and suffering
The lawsuit claims that the nursing facility wasn’t properly staffed which led to failure to deliver appropriate care to its residents. As a result, Mr. Cornett did not receive the proper sanitary care, medications, wound care and several other claims which the lawsuit alleges accelerated his death.
Mr. Cornett’s estate is requesting compensation to cover the cost of medical and funeral expenses, pain and suffering of the family, loss of spousal consortium, loss of life and mental anguish.
If you suspect that nursing home neglect caused the death of your loved one, you should contact an experienced medical attorney immediately so that justice can be pursued on their behalf.
