Court orders new trial in nursing home fall case
The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled a new trial is needed to decide whether the senile dementia sufferer Purser or Jedco Construction was negligent in the 1989 fall at Wesley Pines Nursing Home. The case cites the sitter, barriers, and area fencing as factors in the incident. The court also allows a negligence suit to proceed against Waynesville fire officials over a 1989 fire, and the Davises claim misentry of their home address delayed firefighting.
