Joseph Reese and Randy Sellers obtained a defense verdict on behalf of a nursing home following a five day jury trial in St. Clair County. The case involved a rehabilitation resident who was assessed on admission as a high fall risk and who later fell, sustaining a depressed skull fracture with resulting brain injury. After undergoing emergency brain surgery, the resident lived another nine months before dying as a result of complications relating to the traumatic brain injury. The case involved claims for personal injury and wrongful death.
