California facility to fight against lawsuit
LTC Liability Monitor, February 12, 2007
A Redwood City, CA, nursing home and its employees plan to challenge the legal merits of a lawsuit, which accuses them of allowing the near-fatal scalding of a mentally disabled resident, reported The San Mateo Daily Journal. The facility and the employees named in the lawsuit have filed a demurrer, which attacks the sufficiency of a claim. The suit claims the facility employees knew about a water malfunction before the incident occurred, but the defendants say it was accident. The resident suffered third-degree burns when a nurse's aide turned the shower on and 145-degree water poured onto her lap, according to the Daily Journal.
