Attorney Robert M. Higgins of Lubin & Meyer PC at 28 State St., 40th Floor, Boston, MA 02109 secured a $2 million settlement for an 84-year-old man’s wrongful death from bed rail strangulation. The August 2017 incident involved improper bed rails with 7-inch spacing exceeding FDA regulations of 2 3/8 inches, allowing patient entrapment. The facility knew of bed rail problems from another entrapment one month prior, yet 173 of 176 beds used improper rails. A CNA discovered the victim with legs hanging off the bed, head twisted between the rail and frame, holding the side rail. The facility falsely reported cardiac arrest from hypertension to the medical examiner, omitting the entrapment. State officials cited numerous violations related to bed rail safety. Andrew C. Meyer Jr. and Robert M. Higgins represented the plaintiffs in pre-litigation mediation. The firm offers free case evaluations at 617-720-4447, practicing in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
