The suit was filed again Barry Manor and White Oak Manor nursing homes and the suit claimed the facilities were negligent and failed to properly care for patient, John Novogradac.

Mr. Novogradac lived at both facilities and developed bedsores on his body. He also had to have both legs amputated from above the knee due to his wounds becoming severely infected with dead and gangrenous tissue.

The jury ruled that the nursing homes failed to provide adequate staffing, didn't attend to Novogradac's bedsores or turn and reposition him to prevent the problem. They also found the staff didn't properly treat Novogradac's wounds and no one monitored his condition or alerted a physician when his condition worsened.
