Estate of Winnie Turner v. North Haven of Stevens Point, Inc., et al, Portage County Case No.: 06-CV-63North Crest Assisted Living Facility accepted Winnie Turner, for admission, following a stroke and recent hip replacement. The assisted living facility ignored and failed to get all of the discharge paperwork from the previous nursing home for Mr. Turner. In the last six weeks at the nursing home, Mr. Turner had been dependent on two individuals for all activities of daily living, including maximum assistance with any movement and a 4-point walker and assistance of an aide. The assisted living facility evaluated Mr. Turner as “independent,” on his day of admission. He was left alone and predictably on the first day he fell while trying to transport himself to the bathroom. The assisted living facility did not contact the primary care physician, or family and did not change his care plan or provide any other assistance. Only a day later Mr. Turner suffered another fall when he was left alone during a fire in the building. Mr. Turner was left alone to fend for himself in the middle of the night during a fire in which the smoke filled the building. Predictably, Mr. Turner fell and re-fractured his hip. Unfortunately, Mr. Turner was hospitalized for a period of three weeks and suffered predictable and preventable illnesses, which caused his death.The jury returned a unanimous verdict with a note to the trial court judge indicating that the facility intentionally disregarded the rights of Mr. Turner, and requested that the facility be, “monitored by the State,” for all new admissions.

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.
