*****
Now, Tribble’s family has taken a prerequisite step toward suing The Palmettos of Bluffton assisted living facility, located on S.C. 170 east of Sun City. Allegations laid out in new court filings involve a construction worker, a smartwatch and a handful of careless mistakes that reportedly contributed to the patient’s fatal disappearance. All claims made in the pre-lawsuit documents are inherently one-sided, as the defendants have yet to respond to the accusations made by the plaintiff’s attorneys.

*****
In addition to The Palmettos, records for the forthcoming lawsuit name a number of defendants: National HealthCare Corporation (NHC), the billion-dollar conglomerate in charge; its subsidiary NHC/OP, L.P. and partners in Bluffton and Tennessee; The Palmettos’ executive director Heather Wiegand, director of nursing Ersha Henderson and nurse K’Lee S. Latham; as well as Hendrick Contracting and Home Design, Inc., a Tennessee-based business whose employees were doing repairs in the building at the time of Tribble’s disappearance.

Plaintiffs for the wrongful death case will be Tribble’s wife Margaret and his brother, who are represented by a Columbia attorney with a focus in medical malpractice.
