"CHARLESTON - Erin Winter and Andrew Paternostro of Bell & Bands in Charleston filed three wrongful death suits against nursing homes in two days. <br /><br />On June 9 they sued Health Care and Retirement Corporation, owner of Heartland nursing home in Charleston, on behalf of Kanawha County resident Carl Kessell. <br /><br />They claimed his mother, Reba Kessell, suffered weight loss and dehydration. They claimed she fell several times. They claimed another resident abused her. <br /><br />Later that day they sued the same company on behalf of Carol McClure, daughter of the late James Wells. <br /><br />They claimed he suffered skin tears and wounds. They claimed he developed pressure ulcers because workers failed to turn him or otherwise provide relief. <br /><br />They claimed lack of care for his catheter led to infection and dehydration. <br /><br />On June 10 they sued Sunbridge Care and Rehabilitation of Dunbar on behalf of Clay County resident Donald Samples, widower of Nora Carmin Samples. <br /><br />They claimed that on her second day at Sunbridge, she fell and broke her neck. She died nine days later, they wrote. <br /><br />The Sunbridge suit seeks punitive damages. <br /><br />The court assigned Kessell's suit to Circuit Judge Duke Bloom, McClure's suit to Circuit Judge James Stucky, and Samples's suit to Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey Walker.
