Case Details
A $900 million verdict, including $700 million in punitive damages, was awarded to the plaintiff in Webb v. Trans Healthcare Inc. The plaintiff, a nursing home resident, suffered numerous injuries including multiple infections and large bedsores due to substandard care.
Additional Notes
Trans Health Management Inc. is no longer in business, and its parent corporation, Trans Healthcare Inc., is in receivership. The Maryland receivership stopped defending the case in 2010, after the plaintiff’s firm promised not to bring any further claims, according to the receivership’s attorney, Maria Chavez-Ruark. Circuit Judge Victor Hulslander did not grant Chavez-Ruark’s motion to delay the trial, and he barred her from the courtroom. She vowed to appeal if a new trial is not granted. With the company in receivership, Webb’s widow’s ability to collect on the judgment is uncertain.
