Paralyzed patient develops bed sores

March/April 2024

Doe suffered a paralyzing injury. She was transferred to a rehabilitation and nursing facility, where she developed significant bed sores. They failed to heal fully for more than a year, leading to setbacks in Doe’s recovery.

Doe sued the facility, which defaulted. While the trial court was considering relief from the entry of default judgment, the parties settled confidentially.

Citation: Doe v. Roe, Confidential Dkt. No. (Confidential Jxn., Ct. & Date).

Plaintiff counsel: AAJ member Brewster Rawls, Richmond.
