Duffy & Duffy successfully secured a two million dollar settlement for the family of a man in New York City who suffered a stage-IV bed sore prior to his death while in a Brooklyn nursing home.
The family of the man claimed that their loved one’s bedsore was caused by the nursing home’s failure to routinely reposition the man. This, they claimed, was a departure from the standard of care that is to be expected in nursing home facilities, and constituted professional negligence and malpractice. The jury agreed with the plaintiffs, finding that the nursing home was negligent in providing the elderly man care. In the end, the jury awarded the man’s family $2 million, all of which was awarded for the man’s pain and suffering.
This case highlights the potential consequences of nursing home negligence and the essential role of legal recourse in holding healthcare providers accountable. Duffy & Duffy’s legal expertise and determination were pivotal in navigating these complex medical and legal issues to achieve justice for the affected family.
While this outcome cannot undo the harm suffered by the man or his family, it offers a measure of justice and financial support for their long-term future. Duffy & Duffy’s success in this case demonstrates their commitment to advocating for victims of medical malpractice and ensuring accountability within the healthcare system.
After spending 2 ½ years working with your firm on my mother’s nursing home abuse case I just needed to let you know how happy I am that I made that first phone call to you back in the spring of 2015. From the very beginning your firm believed in the negligence case against the nursing home for my mother and I feel like I became part of your family. You kept me fully informed throughout the process from the beginning in March 2015 to the very end – today 10/31/2017 Attorney Damien Smith spent many hours going over the case with me and found evidence that I feel was the reason the settlement came to fruition. His attention to detail went over and above my expectations. I don’t think I could have gone through this case without his knowledge of the law, his determination, his encouragement and belief in my case. I would recommend your law firm for nursing home neglect to anyone in a similar situation. Damien Smith is such an asset to your firm and a devoted attorney to his clients. Thank you for standing by me Attorney Damien Smith and settling my case to my satisfaction. I can’t bring my mother back but as Judge Feinman said to me after we settled the case this afternoon “hopefully Oceanside Care will learn a lesson from this for future residents in their facility.” Thank you again
