A jury has awarded a six-figure award to an estate in a medical malpractice case.
The estate of Alfonso Olivera, who died at 73, sued Lifemark Hospitals in Florida Inc., alleging he was at high risk for falls and should have been monitored more closely after a March 2013 admission. While in the intensive care unit, Olivera got out of bed, fell, struck his head and suffered a catastrophic subdural hematoma. He died March 26, 2013.
