Case Details
We represented the estate of an elderly man with end-stage terminal bone cancer. The nursing home and a primary care nurse withheld prescribed liquid morphine, giving him a placebo instead, to save money and prevent addiction. This was the largest nursing home verdict in North Carolina at the time.
Additional Notes
The defendants and their lawyers vigorously defended their actions, arguing against both liability and damages. After the $15 million verdict, the case was later settled for a confidential amount of money. The settlement for our client was fully collectible.
