Levin & Perconti attorney Susan L. Novosad filed a complaint on behalf of the son of a nursing home resident against Applewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and Lexington Health Care Center of Orland Park, Illinois. The woman, who was at a known risk for falls, was allegedly undersupervised and neglected by nursing home staff and eventually fell at the home sustaining serious injuries that ultimately led to her death.

Levin & Perconti achieved a $510,000 settlement in a nursing home lawsuit against Lexington Health Care Center of Streamwood nursing home for the family of a 78-year-old resident who repeatedly took off her personal alarm, fell on her way to the bathroom and fractured her hip and died four months later from heart problems.
