Case Details
Albuquerque District Court awarded $4.26 million dollars in damages against Night N Gail Assisted Living for the death of an 89-year-old woman. The facility received multiple citations for violating state regulations. The lawsuit claimed the facility accepted and kept her although she required care it couldn't provide, leading to her death after a fall and delayed transfer to the hospital.
Additional Notes
Counsel for the family, Dusti Harvey of the Harvey, Foote & Baker Law Firm, described to the court how the family became concerned about their mother’s care, but were convinced to keep her at the facility upon the owner’s promises to implement changes-which were not made and resulted in Ms. Simma’s death after she fell and struck her head on the bathtub and was not transferred to the hospital until 28 hours later.
