PITTSBURGH – A health care company has been dismissed from a wrongful death action initiated by an Allison Park woman, who alleges that a variety of nursing care facilities and other parties committed collective negligence led to the death of an elderly man.
Carrie M. McCarthy (as Administrator of the Estate of Robert Herman Fritz and on behalf of the Wrongful Death Beneficiaries of Robert Herman Fritz) of Allison Park first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Dec. 28 versus Arden Courts of North Hills of Pittsburgh, and others.
“Robert Herman Fritz was a resident of Arden Courts of North Hills, from Nov. 13, 2015 through Nov. 27, 2019, and suffered various injuries while a resident there including, but not limited to, falls and a fractured hip, which contributed to his death on Feb. 13, 2020,” the suit stated.
