Officials said 71 families whose loved ones died in the state-operated nursing homes are expected to receive an $225,000, based on arbitration proceedings.
The state’s initial settlement in December was expected to pay families of those who died at the veteran’s homes in early 2020 an average $445,000, based on arbitration proceedings.
“We didn’t want the families to endure years of uncertainty and years of litigation,” the official said. “We’re hoping the settlement affords those families some level of closure and allows them to move forward.” “On balance, the prospect of many years of litigation, versus giving these families much needed closure, was an easy decision for them,” said da Costa. “The amount of the settlements do represent what is considered to be above average for nursing home deaths and represents still a successful outcome for my clients.”
