We are proud to announce that Marty Kardon with Bedsore.Law secured an $850,000 settlement on behalf of the family of Mr. Jason Carter, a 50-year-old resident of a long-term care facility who tragically passed away due to the facility’s reckless disregard for his medical needs.


Jason’s Story: A Life of Resilience

Jason was a vibrant and active young man before suffering a traumatic brain injury 25 years ago that left him with lifelong disabilities. Despite the challenges he faced, Jason remained a source of joy for his family and friends, known for his sense of humor and determination. His brain injury left him with significant impairments, including difficulty chewing food, which required him to follow a strict soft-food diet.

His family placed their trust in a long-term care facility to provide the specialized care he needed. They believed Jason would be safe, respected, and well cared for. Tragically, this trust was shattered by the facility’s negligence.


What Happened in the Facility

Jason’s condition required close supervision, particularly during meals, as he was known to impulsively grab and eat whatever was in his reach. This behavior was well-documented in his care plan, and staff were fully aware of the risks involved.

Despite this:


The Devastating Impact on Jason’s Family

Jason’s untimely death destroyed his family. For 25 years, they had been his steadfast advocates, ensuring he received the care and attention he needed. The facility’s negligence not only caused Jason immense suffering in his final moments but also robbed his family of the man they loved so dearly.

His parents, siblings, and extended family were left heartbroken, grappling with the knowledge that this tragedy could have been prevented. Their trust in the facility was betrayed, and they were left searching for answers and justice.


What the Investigation Uncovered

Marty Kardon and his team conducted an exhaustive investigation, uncovering significant failures in the facility’s care practices:

  1. Failure to Follow Dietary Restrictions: Jason’s care plan explicitly required a soft-food diet, yet the facility served him food that posed a known choking hazard.
  2. Neglect of Supervision Protocols: Staff left Jason unsupervised during a high-risk activity, ignoring his well-documented needs and vulnerabilities.
  3. Systemic Failures: The facility’s lack of training and oversight contributed to this preventable tragedy. Staff admitted during discovery that meal protocols were routinely ignored due to understaffing and a lack of accountability.

Justice for Jason: The Outcome

Marty Kardon fought tirelessly on behalf of Jason’s family, holding the facility accountable for its gross negligence. Through our efforts, we secured an $850,000 settlement for his family.

While no amount of money can ever compensate for the loss of Jason, this settlement serves as a measure of justice for his family and a stark reminder to care facilities of their duty to protect vulnerable residents.
