Malpractice Suit Against Nursing Home Dismissed

The trial court in New Britain granted a motion to dismiss in a lawsuit alleging that the plaintiff suffered a broken arm as a result of the defendant’s employees using improper techniques to lift him while recording his weight. The motion to dismiss argued that the claims of negligence against the nursing home sounded in medical malpractice, rather than ordinary negligence, and that the plaintiff failed to attach a written opinion of a similar health care provider as required by Connecticut law to bring a lawsuit for medical malpractice. Evan O’Hara handled this matter.
