| Description | A nurse assistant who is in a vegetative state after being attacked at a Pasadena hospital has been unfairly denied care by workers compensation and her health insurance, her attorney alleges.
Amelia Mendoza, 52, was attacked twice in April by a violent patient at Huntington Hospital, sustaining blows to her face, head and neck, attorney Russell Glauber said.
Days later, she had a hemorrhagic stroke, and her claims for subsequent health care have been denied by her insurer, Blue Cross, and by workers compensation, he said. |
