Estate executor blames Sunrise Senior facility for patient fall

Medical malpractice 06

CHICAGO — An estate executor is suing SZR Bloomingdale Assisted Living LLC and Sunrise Senior Living Management Inc., citing alleged negligence.

Doris Lamb filed a complaint June 20 in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of the estate of the late Bridget Tylka, alleging Tylka suffered injuries on Oct. 2, 2016, including pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement, and incurred medical-related expenses as a result of the negligence of the defendants that led to a fall and a subdural hematoma.

The plaintiff alleged that the defendants failed to protect Tylka from neglect, failed to properly train and supervise nursing staff and failed to properly assess changes in Tylka's condition.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks a judgment for damages in an amount greater than $50,000. She is represented by Margaret Battersby Black of Levin & Perconti in Chicago.
