Court Delays Wrongful Death Suit Against Nursing Home
An Oregon court has delayed until 2010 a lawsuit that accuses a nursing home of neglect and wrongful death. In the lawsuit, Barbara Dickerson claims that her mother lost the ability to walk, suffered significant weight loss, developed a severe pressure ulcer and contacted pneumonia within 49 days of entering the Evergreen Milton-Freewater Health and Rehabilitation Center. Attorneys for the facility told the judge they needed more time in order to prepare their defense.
