Nursing Home Abuse Case Yields $7.75 Million Verdict
After noticing bruises on their family member, a 71 year old stroke victim, the family reported their concerns about possible abuse to the nursing home management. After that went nowhere, the family installed a video camera in her room. It recorded her being hit, having her hair pulled and jerked around, having her fingers bent back and other abuse. A jury's verdict assessed $2.25 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.Source: Ventura County Star
