CHICAGO — Two estate representatives are suing Manorcare Health Services-South Holland; Manorcare Health Services LLC; and a nurse, citing alleged insufficient measures were taken to prevent their relative's pressure sores.

Elaine Thomas Pompey and Ann-Marie Hall-Sparks, as independent co-executors of the estate of Viris L. Hall, filed a complaint on April 13 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants alleging that they failed to provide proper medical care to Hall.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges Hall developed pressure sores because the defendants allegedly failed to provide adequate supervision and assistance to Hall.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs. She is represented by Robert F. Geimer and Philip P. Terrazzino of Tomasik Kotin Kasserman LLC in Chicago.
