"You don't just get to make these kinds of mistakes and think it's OK," attorney Marc R. Greenberg said, emphasizing the gravity of the negligence in the case.
According to the lawsuit, Peterson was pronounced dead shortly after requesting to leave the hospital, with her family incorrectly informed she had checked out.
The lawsuit claims staff negligence led to Jessie Peterson's family believing she was missing, while in reality her body was stored improperly for nearly a year.
Mercy San Juan Medical Center has declined to comment on the lawsuit but expressed sympathy to the family, stating they cannot discuss ongoing litigation.
