David Cohen and Elizabeth Gilbert will be presenting “Newman v. Select Specialty Hospital: A Game Changer.” The Newman v. Select Specialty Hospital case was a game changer for Arizona nursing homes. As a result of Newman, punitive damages are in play in most Adult Protective Services Act (APSA) cases against Arizona nursing homes. In this session, attorneys David Cohen and Elizabeth Gilbert will discuss the Newman decision, the impact of Newman, and how nursing homes can attempt to protect themselves from being subject to punitive damages under Newman.
