Lakeview Rehabilitation accused of not supervising patient to prevent fall

Medical malpractice 06

CHICAGO — A woman's representative is suing Lakeview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center LLC, citing alleged insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries and negligence.

Sean Gaurige, guardian of the estate of Rita DeNicolo, filed a complaint on Feb. 23 in Cook County Circuit Court against Lakeview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center alleging the facility failed to provide proper care to DeNicolo.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges DeNicolo experienced pain from suffering a fall and developing skin breakdown. The plaintiff accuses Lakeview of allegedly failing to provide adequate supervision to DeNicolo to prevent her from falling.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this court, court costs and any further relief this court grants. He is represented by Jeffrey Schlapp of Schlapp Law Group LLC in Chicago.
