Dudensing Law secured a $3 million recovery for the family of a man who died after becoming septic from a “large and obvious" facial infection that a California skilled nursing facility failed to document or address. Despite his loved one repeatedly warning staff about his fall risk, he suffered at least 10 falls, including one incident in which he was found unattended outside in 100-degree heat, bleeding.

The Great Trials Podcast is home to one of the biggest stages in trial law, with episodes going behind landmark cases like the $140 million Davis v. NCAA verdict and the first "enhanced autopilot" trial against Tesla. Dudensing Law Founder, Ed Dudensing took the mic to break down the firm’s record $110 million verdict on behalf of Mildred Hernandez and her family, resulting in the largest elder abuse verdict in California history.

Ed walks through how the trial team traced accountability through holding companies to hold the facility's corporate owners, Colony Capital, the publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), and Formation Capital, the private equity investment firm, directly responsible. They also discussed why growing private equity and REIT ownership in long-term care raises serious concerns for resident safety.

Dudensing Law recently secured a $2 million recovery for the family of a 78-year-old man who died after alleged systemic neglect at a Sacramento care facility.

Admitted for supervision after a hip fracture, the man suffered repeated falls, unmonitored weight loss, an ignored flu vaccine order, and an untreated infection before dying from Influenza A. The facility was aware of the areas in which our client was at high risk but failed to provide the support, supervision, or care plan necessary to keep him safe.

When facilities put profit over people, we will fight for accountability.

In his 2025 Rutter Group treatise “Elder Abuse Litigation,” Founder Ed Dudensing highlights what many advocates call the "Golden Rule" of elder care.

Under federal regulations, every nursing home resident is legally entitled to the highest quality of care that enables them to attain or maintain their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

Ed emphasizes that if a facility fails to provide the necessary services to meet this standard, it is a direct regulatory violation.
