On July 15, a Superior Court panel filed its opinion in Scampone v. Grane. The opinion has been widely publicized as changing the landscape for nursing home liability in Pennsylvania — but to what extent? This article will review the Scampone case and its potential effect on nursing home litigation.
As a preliminary note, this article is not intended to comment on the potential challenges to the Superior Court’s opinion. There are several spirited issues that have been raised in favor of and against the decision. That may be the subject for another day, should the Supreme Court grant further review.
