Warren Barr South Loop Nursing Home allegedly failed to prevent woman's fall, later death

Medical malpractice 01

CHICAGO — A woman  is suing Warren Barr South Loop Nursing Home and Legacy Healthcare Financial Services LLC for wrongful death and allegedly taking insufficient measures to prevent injuries.

Hattie Foster, independent administrator of the estate of Marie Gillenwater, filed a complaint on March 22 in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging Gillenwater suffered a fall that allegedly caused an acute subdural hematoma. The plaintiff holds the defendants responsible for allegedly failing to adequately supervise and assist Gillenwater to address her risk of falling.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount that exceeds the jurisdictional limits of this court. She is represented by the Collins Law Firm P.C. in Naperville.
