Elder abuse victim awarded $700,000 settlement
An elderly woman, who was sexually assaulted, while a post-surgical patient in an acute care hospital was awarded a settlement of $700,000.
The San Diego law firm of Estey and Bomberger represented the elderly woman who suffers from nightmares, anxiety, and a loss in sexual enjoyment since the assault.
The plaintiff’s lawyers successfully proved the hospital did not adquately train their employees in how to investigate alleged sexual abuse victims and showed in an investigation of a similar incident involving the same certified nurse assistant that the event was not one of “rough-handling” as the hospital’s attorneys claimed.
