Our client, Christine, fell victim to her nursing home’s neglectful practices. She fell out of bed and hit her head while in the care of a Grace Healthcare (now called Tucker Nursing & Rehabilitation Center) employee. Christine died from the injuries she sustained when she fell because of the employee’s lack of training.
Recently, a jury awarded Christine’s family $1.8 million for the pain and suffering Christine suffered before she died.
BBGA attorney Evan Jones, along with co-counsel from Prieto, Marigliano, Holbert & Prieto, LLC, Atlanta, represented Christine’s family to ensure they received a fair nursing home lawsuit settlement.
