New York State Nursing Home Seeks Payment After Allegedly Causing Nun's Death
Sister Mary Daniel died on September 7, 2008 from injuries she sustained on August 31, 2008, when a 200 pound, 7 foot high and 2 foot wide freestanding closet unit fell on her. The closet was unsecured. There were two other incidents involving freestanding closets falling prior to the closet that fell onto Sister Mary Daniel. We discussed the circumstances surrounding Sister Mary Daniel's death in our previous blog.
Now, to add insult to injury (and death), Rockland County has filed a notice of claim to seek money from the Sister Mary Daniel's estate. The County, which runs Summit Park Nursing Care Center, is seeking more than $200,000 for her care before and after the accident.
