Litigation is underway against the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, the nursing home where eight residents died in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
Miami firm Leighton Law filed a complaint Friday in Broward Circuit Court on behalf of the family of 99-year-old Albertina Vega, who died after the facility lost air-conditioning Tuesday. It was not until Wednesday that emergency responders were alerted to the need to evacuate more than 150 residents from the nursing home, which is across the street from a hospital.
