Shocking Conduct – Confidential settlement in Cullman County

David Marsh handled a case in Cullman that involved shocking conduct by a caregiver with an in-home assistance company. An elderly man with vascular dementia, and blindness, required full time care in his home. Thanks to surveillance cameras set up by the man’s family, we discovered a caregiver watching television while the man wandered around the house, bumping into walls and furniture. He walked into a wall and fell backwards onto a hard floor. While the man was writhing in pain and trying to sit up, the caregiver began taping him with her camera phone. This continued for twenty minutes. The caregiver never got our client medical care he needed or reported the fall to her agency.
