Carter v Prime Healthcare Paradise Valley 198 Cal.App.4th 396 (4/1) (2011) Decedent Carter treated at hospital and rehabilitation center. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer Due to mistreatment at center, two hospital readmissions where treatment was substandard and neglectful. Heirs sued for elder abuse et al. Hospital’s demurrer sustained, affirmed. [1] Elder Abuse Act provides enhanced remedies but only for reckless, etc. conduct, standard equivalent to punitive-damage standard. Malpractice (inadequate crash cart, failure to properly medicate, etc.) not ‘sufficiently egregious’ to constitute neglect within elder abuse statutes. Court surveys cases finding adequate showing.
