Ruling on a 1982 law, the California Supreme Court has limited damages against nursing homes to $500 per lawsuit, a victory for the industry amid the coronavirus crisis.
, the California Supreme Court ruled Monday that a state law allowing residents to sue facilities limits compensation to $500.
ManorCare staff allegedly often left him in soiled diapers and ignored nurse call lights. He died before the trial, and his daughter carried on his suit. But Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar, joined by Justice Goodwin Liu, said the $500 cap was “plainly insufficient to fulfill the statute’s purpose to deter and remedy violations of nursing home patients’ rights.”
In a Walnut Creek facility owned by ManorCare, he said, 130 people were infected, and 12 have died. The majority’s decision “deprives nursing home residents of an important tool to deter and vindicate violations of their rights,” he said.
