The West Virginia Supreme Court has reduced a $91 million verdict to about $37 million against a Charleston nursing home in a former resident’s death.
In a 76-page opinion Wednesday, justices ruled to limit damages against Heartland of Charleston.
A Kanawha County jury had found the nursing home failed to feed and care for Dorothy Douglas. The 87-year-old died 18 days after about a three-week stay in 2009.
Douglas’ son, Tom Douglas, sued parent company Manor Care Inc. and related companies, alleging negligent treatment.
The nursing home’s attorneys had called the $91 million award excessive and unfair. They said claims should have been subject to the state’s $500,000 cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits.
Attorneys for the family and the nursing home didn’t immediately comment on the verdict.
Roughly 350 children in state foster care are currently placed across 20 states to receive treatment not available in West Virginia.
