Washington Post article about the tragic death of our client's sister who died because of a lack of heat at a Richmond assisted living facility


Posted on Jun 01, 2005

The Washington Post featured the story of an elderly resident who died due to a lack of heat at a Richmond assisted living facility. We filed suit on behalf of her sister. Through our investigation we learned that the facility was so cold that the employees were wearing coats and thermal underwear to work. The case settled shortly before trial. Read the Washington Post's series on the state of assisted living facilities in Virginia. The third article in the series depicts the tragic story of our client who suffered a broken back and almost lost his life due the dangerous condition of another Richmond assisted living facility.
