EADACPA v. MIRCA

Avila v. S. Cal. Specialty Care, No. G054269 (D4d3 Feb. 26, 2018)

On behalf of his incapacitated Father, Son signed papers admitting Father to a Nursing Home, in his capacity as Father’s agent under a statutory power of attorney. Father died in the home three days later, the apparent result of his aspirating due to a poorly installed feeding tube. Son sued for negligence, elder abuse and wrongful death, the first two claims brought as Father’s successor, and the latter brought on his own behalf.
