A senior citizen living in a nursing home was taken to her doctor in a company van. On the way back to the nursing home, the senior fell out of her chair because she was not properly strapped into her seat. When a worker reported the incident to the nursing home, he was instructed to bring the senior back to the nursing home and not take the senior to the emergency room. The senior was not analyzed by anyone upon her return to the nursing home. She was merely placed back in bed. Later, it was uncovered the senior had suffered a fracture and because she was not properly treated, she ultimately died a few days after the incident. The case settled in pre-suit for $750,000.
