A new senior housing building

A wrongful death lawsuit was settled on behalf of the children of two elderly parents filed against a senior housing unit in St. Joseph, Missouri.

89-year-old Ellis Marion Stephens and his 86-year-old wife, Iris were killed in a fire at the Danford Hall Apartments.

The decedent’s children filed a wrongful death suit alleging negligence which caused their parent’s deaths.  The fire had started when a man using oxygen in another apartment who was using oxygen fell asleep while smoking.

The negligence alleged involved improper and insufficient fire warning systems and failure to supervise.
