$347,100 Jury Verdict in Improper Management of Diabetes in Nursing Home Rehabilitation

Lucy Jarmon, a hospice patient, was suffering from Type 2 diabetes. She had a five-day respite stay at Creekside Center for Rehabilitation & Healing. After returning home, Jarmon developed hyperglycemia, and it was determined that she had not received insulin or had her blood sugar checked during her stay at the center. That same day, she was transferred to a hospital where she was treated for five days before being transferred to a different skilled nursing facility.

After her passing, her estate sued Creekside’s operator, alleging that it chose not to develop and implement an effective plan to treat Jarmon’s diabetes. The defendants’ negligence led Jarmon to suffer diabetic complications, delayed care and severe pain.

After a jury trial, the jury entered and signed a verdict for $347,100. The attorney successfully handling this lawsuit for the Jarmon family was Richard Piliponis.
