Nursing home neglect, improper burial, Cook County, Illinois. Attorney John J. Malm has been retained to represent the family of an elderly man who was severely neglected at a nursing home in Chicago. The lawsuit seeks damages for painful suffering, wrongful death and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The suit alleges that nursing home staff failed to call an ambulance after the man became ill and eventually coded. When the man died, the family was not contacted. Shockingly, and without permission from the family, the man was buried in a concrete box wearing only a hospital gown, without a proper religious funeral and without his family and loved ones. Damages in excess of $1,000,000 are being sought against the nursing home and its staff.
