More Suits Are Possible After VA Hospital Deaths

Attorneys have until an August deadline to file additional civil lawsuits on behalf of families whose loved ones died under suspicious circumstances at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg. Charleston attorney Tony O’Dell told the Charleston Gazette-Mail that he will work to file on behalf of families until the deadline, which is the two-year anniversary since information on the investigation went public. Reta Mays is the former nursing assistant who admitted to killing seven elderly veterans at the hospital with fatal injections of insulin, and she was sentenced last week to life in prison. The VA’s Office of Inspector General reviewed the electronic health records of more than 200 patients at the hospital and identified 112 patients who died on Mays’ floor at the hospital during her employment, which started in mid-2015 until she was fired in July 2018. And 66 patients suffered at least one hypoglycemic event during her employment.
