- An elderly gentleman arrived a nursing home with discrepancies in
his medical records regarding his skin condition. Due to worsening of
his bedsore he required surgical skin implants. This case was resolved
in a confidential settlement.
- Another elderly man came to a nursing home and was not adequately
observed or guarded from injury. He got up from his wheelchair and fell,
breaking his arm. A Los Angeles Jury awarded Mr. Levin's client $442,000.
- In another case, an elderly lady arrived at a nursing home in very
weak condition. She suffered from dementia, and was too weak to move.
She developed several bedsores that required amputation of her leg,
and eventually contributed to her death. A significant confidential
settlement was obtained.
- In another case, an elderly woman was found to have broken leg even
though she was supposed to be in bed with the guardrails up. The leg
became infected and source of ongoing pain. A significant confidential
settlement was reached with the defendant nursing home.
- Mr. Levin has handled literally dozens and dozens of neglect and abuse
cases with successful results for his clients.
Caution: there can be no guarantee of results in neglect and
abuse cases. Each case is unique. Every case requires a special approach
based upon the facts, the lawyer's experience in handling similar cases,
and the changing law.
