Tarverdi v. Southern Cal. Healthcare System, Inc.
INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs alleged that their elderly father and husband suffered injuries and neglect while in the care of defendants, which eventually led to his death. Defendants—a hospital, doctor, and nurses—demurred to the complaint, asserting that the allegations were uncertain and that the complaint failed to state a cause of action. After successive complaints and demurrers, the trial court sustained defendants’ demurrers to the third amended complaint without leave to amend.
We reverse. Although the third amended complaint was verbose, the trial court erred by sustaining the demurrers on uncertainty grounds. In addition, the third amended complaint stated viable causes of action against the defendants, and the allegations do not warrant a finding that certain claims are time-barred.
