    Family of resident who died from sepsis awarded $2M

    A jury returned a $2 million verdict for the death of a 104-year-old nursing home resident caused by decubitis ulcers. Mary Adams died after eight weeks at Villa Valencia Healthcare Center, a skilled nursing facility in Laguna Hills. She was in the facility for physical therapy following hospitalization for a broken arm. While at Villa Villencia, she developed Stage IV decubitus ulcers on both heels. Her family sued the owner of the nursing home, claiming Adams was neglected there. They sought between $1 million and $5 million in damages. The jury's award included $1 million in punitive damages. According to defense counsel, the award will be reduced to $1.25 million per MICRA.
