Case Details
An Oklahoma Nursing Home and its conglomerate operator were found guilty of neglecting a Marlow woman and ultimately causing her death. The jury awarded $1 million with its guilty verdict. The victim had suffered from mental illness nearly all of her life. When her mental health declined, she was placed at Westbrook nursing home in Waurika, Oklahoma. On July 6, 2015, the victim, now age 75, choked to death in the dining room of Westbrook Nursing Home in Waurika. The evidence at trial showed Westbrook Nursing Home staff missed several opportunities to call 911. The jury unanimously found that Elmbrook Management Company acted 'intentionally and with malice'.
