Failure to reposition resident

March 26, 2024

Randolph Mack, 63, was admitted to Stella Maris after suffering a stroke. Mack, whose mobility was limited, developed a Stage III sacral wound, which led to a paraspinal abscess and severe sepsis. He died approximately six months after his admission and is survived by his wife and adult children.

Mack’s estate sued Stella Maris, Inc., alleging failure to adequately turn and reposition Mack.

The jury awarded over $9.04 million.

Citation: Mack v. Stella Maris, Inc., No. C-03-CV-22-002421 (Md. Cir. Ct. Baltimore Cnty. Aug. 17, 2023).

Plaintiff counsel: AAJ member Reza Davani, Bel Air, Md.
