  5. NN jury makes $3.5 million award to 87-year-old

    A Newport News jury has awarded $3.5 million to an 87-year-old former Hampton resident for injuries sustained after falling from her bed while at Riverside Regional Medical Center in February 2006. Shirley Burrell, then 81, was in the hospital for a hip arthroplasty. After the fall, she suffered a fractured hip followed by a stroke which resulted in permanent disability. Her attorney characterized the award as sending a message to all health providers to take the care of elderly patients seriously.
