Blank Rome and longtime client St. Luke’s University Health Network were each found by a jury Tuesday of improperly suing family members of two former patients who had sued the hospital over allegations a former nurse killed their loved ones, but the firm and health system were not assessed any damages.
The case was one of competing Dragonetti actions that all stem from the arrest and conviction of former nurse Charles Cullen, who admitted to killing several patients at a number of area hospitals where he worked, including six patients at St. Luke’s, according to court papers in two consolidated suits against Blank Rome and St. Luke’s.
