Ho Im Bae vs. Lakeside Adult Family Home and Alpha Nursing, Inc., Cause No.: 12-2-02-012-2The Supreme Court of Washington ruled in a unanimously that a visiting nurse working for Alpha Nursing Services had an affirmative obligation to report abuse and neglect where it was witnessed, even though the nursing service did not directly care for the resident. Ho Im Bae was a resident at Lakeside who appeared to be asleep and was dragged through the kitchen by her arms with her feet dragging behind her. Alpha nurses, who did not care for Ms. Bae, witnessed her being dragged through the kitchen unconscious and the next day witnessed her fall to the ground and lose consciousness, which resulted in massive bruising to her head and face. Within days, Ho Im Bae died as a result of a morphine overdose. Ms. Bae was not prescribed any morphine. Ms. Bae was purposely given another resident’s morphine to chemically restrain her at the facility. The Supreme Court of Washington ruled that even though Alpha Nursing did not care for Ms. Bae directly, that under the Vulnerable Adult Statute in the State of Washington that they were mandatory reporters and did not do so. As a result of the Supreme Court’s ruling, the defendants settled for multi-millions.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
