Estate of Jaclyn O'Hara, deceased minor v Nursefinders Inc.

A home care nurse left a 12-year-old quadriplegic child with cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, incontinence, cortical blindness and scoliosis unattended in a tub of water at her south suburban home, causing her to drown. The verdict is an Illinois high for death of a child and is also a record high for death of a severely disabled individual.
