Bedsore death sparks lawsuit in Kansas City

The lawsuit also targets hospital procedures, alleging that various cost-cutting measures at University Health led to short-staffing on shifts when nurses should have been caring for Jones’ husband.

“Dan Jones, who suffered from dementia and Parkinson’s disease, was admitted to University Health in June 2022. He was bedridden throughout his stay and developed a coccyx injury sometime between June and August, according to the lawsuit.”
