Perkins Law Offices Advocates for Survivor of Tragic Nursing Home Incident
MIAMI, FL, USA, October 10, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — Perkins Law Offices has taken on the case of Marie Simboli, an 81-year-old survivor of the devastating conditions at the Rehabilitation Center of Hollywood Hills. This nursing home, entrusted with the care of nearly 150 elderly residents, tragically lost 10 patients to extreme heat following power outages caused by Hurricane Irma.
Simboli, who survived the harrowing ordeal, voiced her concerns about the unbearable heat, stating, “I complained that the heat was killing me. It was very hot, very hot and uncomfortable… I can’t believe they let people die there.” Her account underscores the critical failure in care and raises pressing questions about the facility’s actions and preparedness during this life-threatening crisis.
Attorney Alexander Perkins, representing Simboli and Perkins Law Offices, emphasizes the importance of holding accountable those responsible for this tragedy. As additional details emerge, statements from survivors and their families increasingly contradict the accounts given by both the nursing home and Florida Power & Light Company.
Perkins Law Offices has issued formal notice under Florida Statute Chapter 400 to the Rehabilitation Center of Hollywood Hills, LLC, Larkin Community Hospital, and other associated entities. The lawsuit (Case Number CACE17018178) underscores allegations of negligence and seeks justice for Simboli and the families of those who tragically lost their lives. According to documentation obtained by Perkins Law Offices, the facility was operated under Larkin Community Hospital ownership, amplifying questions of oversight and responsibility.
“The Rehabilitation Center’s negligence is indefensible,” stated Perkins. “We are committed to ensuring that all responsible parties are held accountable and that this type of incident never happens again.”
With a proven track record in advocating for the elderly and victims of personal injury, wrongful death, and civil fraud, Perkins Law Offices stands resolute in its pursuit of justice for Simboli and other victims of nursing home negligence.
