“$29 million verdict upheld against Rocklin Nursing Home Firm ”by Cynthia Hubert – Sacramento Bee 7/14/10

In a strongly worded ruling, a Sacramento Superior Court judge has upheld a $29 million verdict against a Rocklin nursing home company in the 2005 death of an elderly patient.

Candee said “overwhelming” and “devastatingly powerful” evidence in the trial in May supported the jury’s verdict and damage awards against Horizon which owns 33 nursing homes.

During the course of the trial Strategic edited deposition video, assembled direct examinations using video and transitioning, assisted in PowerPoint development during opening statements & closing arguments, and digitized exhibits and graphs for incorporation into closing arguments.  Strategic’s staff also testified in the matter and laid foundations for photographs that ultimately proved important during the course of the trial.
