The Firm was approached by a senior citizen who had gone to the hospital during a mental-health episode to receive care. However, a male nurse, while attempting to subdue the citizen, used excessive force and fractured her arm. The nurse defended himself and claimed that he had to apply force to the elderly citizen because the citizen wouldn’t calm down and comply with his commands. The Firm took the case and spent dozens of hours researching the standard of care that nurses are required to provide during a mental health episode. After proving that the nurse ignored his own training and violated the standard of care, the parties settled the case in late 2024.
