In a recent piece for Consumer Attorneys of California’s Forum Magazine, Ed Dudensing underlines the importance of holding corporate overseers accountable in elder abuse cases. By shifting focus from bedside caregivers to the profit-driven enterprise structures at the top, which often prioritize financial gain over patient safety, attorneys can seek justice for clients and maximize punitive damages.
Dudensing goes on to provide crucial information on unraveling the complex webs large companies use to avoid transparency and accountability and provide tips for plaintiff’s attorneys in proving liability by corporate overseers.
“The ‘holy grail’ of corporate liability is proving that corporate defendants operated their enterprise in a manner designed to maximize profits at the expense of patient care,” Dudensing writes.
