When Andrea Morris, a dedicated nurse at City of Hope, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on the job, her life was irrevocably changed. Despite being surrounded by five medical professionals—including two doctors—no one administered CPR. One doctor even testified under oath that he was not qualified to perform CPR. The lack of immediate medical intervention led to severe brain damage, leaving Andrea quadriplegic and dependent on round-the-clock care.

Adding to the tragedy, City of Hope denied Andrea’s workers’ compensation claim, refusing to acknowledge the incident as a work-related injury. This denial prompted Bentley & More LLP’s co-founder, Keith More, to take up her case.
