The patient was transferred to a rehabilitation and nursing center following an injury that caused the patient to be paralyzed. The patient developed significant bed sores, which did not fully heal for more than a year and which caused the patient set-backs in her recovery from her initial injury.
After the defendant rehabilitation and nursing center failed to answer the complaint, the patient’s counsel obtained default judgment. While the trial court was reconsidering relief from the entry of default judgment, the parties settled the case privately.
