Our client is brought to a hospital in Loveland, Colorado, when her husband notices her asleep and breathing abnormally. She is hospitalized and diagnosed with a blood clot in her lung. Her assisting nurse is notified that she is classified as a high risk for falls, needs supervision between transfers, and has recently undergone hip replacement surgery. During her hospitalization, the nurse gives her incorrect instructions on how to walk and is not ready to assist her, leading our client to traumatically falling, fracturing her leg and developing a severe infection. The nurse’s failure to follow standard care procedures caused our client to endure pain, illness, and the possibility of losing her leg. Justly, VanMeveren Law Group P.C. filed a lawsuit and was able to obtain a sizeable settlement to cover her sizeable medical expenses.
