Many nursing home residents suffer burns as a result of water that is too hot in bathtubs or sitz baths.  These injuries often occur becasue nursing homes are understaffed or because of negligence on the part of staff members.  Levin & Perconti recently resolved a similar case for $1.5 million where an 87-year-old resident suffered burns to her buttocks after being placed in a sitz bath in which the water was too hot.
