This case involves allegations of professional negligence following an incident where Mary Lu Lijewski suffered severe injuries after falling in her hospital room.

On August 4, 2023, Mary Lu Lijewski was admitted to the hospital for left leg pain and underwent emergency surgery.
Despite being on post-surgical narcotic pain medications and having her catheter removed on August 5, no post-surgical fall risk assessment was conducted.
