Pegula v. La Mirada Healthcare CA2/7
Anne Pegula through her guardian ad litem, her son Ronald Pegula, sued La Mirada Healthcare, LLC dba Imperial Healthcare Center for elder abuse, negligence and violation of the Patient’s Bill of Rights. La Mirada petitioned to compel arbitration of the dispute based on an agreement to arbitrate claims involving medical malpractice Ronald had signed shortly after Anne was admitted to the skilled nursing facility owned by La Mirada’s predecessor-in-interest, Life Care Centers of America. The trial court denied the petition, finding La Mirada had not established that Ronald had authority as Anne’s agent or ostensible agent to bind her to arbitrate her claims against the facility and its owner. We affirm.
