MASON CITY – A jury found in favor of a deceased resident of Good Shepherd nursing home and her family.
Maria Savas O’Brien sued Good Shepherd Nursing home in 2015, alleging negligence and recklessness. She passed away on Wednesday, April 1, 2015, after she had been in the nursing home for over 2 years.
After several jury trial postponements, a jury returned a verdict on September 27, 2016, awarding the surviving family upwards of $900,000 for physical and mental pain and punitive damages.
An appeal is possible in the case.
