Posted on Dec 21, 2010 3:15pm PST
A case in Oregon has been ruled on where Sara Burns reportedly died while under medical care. She was at Ashland Community Healthcare Services after attempting to commit suicide by overdosing on various drugs. Her mother brought on a wrongful death lawsuit claiming that her daughter was neglected. However, the ACHS claimed they were not informed of a particular drug she ingested which would have changed her treatment plan. The jury then returned with a verdict of $740,000 and lowered it some for Sara’s comparative fault. Although, the Oregon Court of Appeals then reversed the decision.
