Proven verdicts and settlements
A Cook County jury delivered Illinois's largest-ever nursing home verdict, $12.2 million, finding that chronic understaffing at Lakeview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center caused Shirley Adams to develop fatal pressure wounds during her stay.
A Cook County jury found in July 2017 that Clare Oaks, a Bartlett nursing home, let an 85-year-old resident go 14 days without her prescribed Coumadin, and she suffered a stroke on March 30, 2011. She died four years later. The jury assessed $4,111,477.66 against the facility, and the Illinois Appellate Court affirmed the verdict in August 2019.
