At Allen Saltzman, LLP, we are proud that our experienced advocacy on behalf of our clients have netted positive results. Some of those results include:

• $2,000,000 for elder abuse committed against our 78-year-old client. Our client was allowed to fall while transferring from her wheelchair to her bed. She fractured her femur (upper leg) and patella (kneecap). Screaming and crying, she begged to be sent to the hospital, but was kept at the residential care facility for the elderly for another 12 hours.
• $2,025,000 for dependent adult abuse and wrongful death of our 54-year-old client. Our client, a long-time victim of benzodiazepine addiction, was a resident in an alcohol and drug recovery facility. After two months of ineffective care, she took her own life, leaving a loving husband and two minor children.
• $1,600,000 (partially structured) for a traffic accident involving our client. Our client was traveling on a rural section of the California interstate when a low flying crop duster forced him off the road and caused his car to flip over several times. He suffered a significant brain injury with amnesia.
• $1,500,000 (structured) for a car versus horse accident. Our client’s father was traveling on a Southern California freeway when a horse bolted in front of his car. The impact threw the horse in the air. It landed on and crushed the passenger compartment of the car, causing a spinal fracture to our client, who was then paraplegic.
• $847,059 for dependent adult abuse of our 62-year-old client. Our client’s medical care and abdominal infection were not properly cared for at the skilled nursing facility, resulting in abdominal surgery with long term adverse consequences.
• $550,000 for elder abuse and wrongful death of our 95-year-old client. Our client suffered an undiagnosed and unexplained long bone fracture in her leg. Her dementia worsened and she passed away a few months later.
• $525,000 for dependent adult abuse and wrongful death to the family of our 52-year-old ventilator dependent client. Defendant placed our client in a Geri-chair for a period of 3 hours in violation of his physician’s orders. During his third hour, he developed secretions which compromised his airway, causing him to suffocate.
• $475,000 for elder abuse to the family of our deceased 97-year old client. Our client was the victim of failed medical care including medication errors, failed diagnoses of acute medical conditions, fluid overload, and malnutrition. He also was allowed to develop serious pressure injuries.
• $450,000 for elder abuse and wrongful death to the surviving wife of our elderly client. Our client was allowed to develop a c-diff infection which went undiagnosed and untreated until it was so severe it caused his death.
• $450,000 for elder abuse to the family of our 85-year-old client. Our client was allowed to develop serious pressure injuries which first developed at an acute level hospital, and then worsened at the skilled nursing facility.
• $425,000 for elder abuse and wrongful death to the heirs of our 94-year-old client. Our client was allowed to develop serious pressure injuries. In addition, the facility failed to provide proper bowel and bladder care, failed to keep our client nourished and hydrated, and failed to comply with her physician’s medication orders.
• $325,000 for elder abuse and wrongful death of our 86-year-old client. Our client suffered several serious pressure injuries which were not properly treated.
• $320,000 for elder abuse to the family of our deceased 80-year-old client. Our client, who had a number of co-morbidities, was allowed to fall from his wheelchair and strike his head. The fall was not reported to our elder’s physician or responsible family member, and no diagnostic tests were taken.
• $310,000 for elder abuse to the family of our 66-year-old client. Our client suffered from a number of pre-existing conditions and entered the facility with pressure injuries. The pressure injuries were allowed to seriously deteriorate over several days. Eventually he was transferred to another facility for treatment.
• $250,000 for elder abuse and wrongful death of our 74-year-old client. Our client was forced to endure severe sepsis (infection) and septic shock, severe dehydration, malnourishment, and hypoxemia (lack of oxygen to the brain).
• $200,000 for elder abuse and wrongful death of our 78-year-old client. Our client, a resident of a skilled nursing facility, was allowed to develop cardiac and kidney conditions which were not properly diagnosed or treated.
• $185,000 for negligence in favor of our 56-year-old dependent adult. Our client suffered severe internal bleeding and was near death from being administered improper medications for a condition she did not have.
• $175,000 for elder abuse to the family of our deceased 102-year-old client. The skilled nursing home where our client was a long-term resident failed to report serious weight losses to the client’s responsible party or physician, which contributed to a series of infections.
