In one of the largest recent verdicts against a South Florida assisted living facility, jurors returned a seven-figure award to the family of a grandmother who sustained a severe brain injury in an unsupervised bathroom fall from which she would never recover.
John “Jack” McLuskey and John Hughes III, partners at McLuskey, McDonald & Hughes in Miami, represented the estate of Constance Poppenhager, who was a resident of the defendant, Kendall Health Care Properties, also known as the Palace at Kendall Assisted Living Facility.
