Attorney David Terry Testifies Before Senate Committee

March 31, 2009

For the third time, attorney David W. Terry of the Terry Law Firm testified before a committee of Missouri Legislature.  Today's testimony focused on Senate Bill 467, which would require nursing home companies to carry liability insurance.  Mr. Terry testified in favor of the bill and pointed out to Senate members that many of the nursing homes operating in Missouri and throughout the United States do so with a spiderweb of corporate entities designed solely for the financial benefit of their owners, rather than the residents.  The corporate entities are set up to do business with each other in what are referred to as "related party transactions".  David cited a recent case of his where one-third of the expenses incurred by the nursing home facility were related party transactions that directly benefitted the owner by millions of dollars.  The point of this and other examples was to refute the nursing home industry position that carrying liability insurance would impose an onerous financial burden on nursing home facilities.

Thank you so much for everything. Most of all I appreciate that you recognized that an atrocity had occurred that needed to be admitted. I wish you great success and a blessed life for you and your family.

After my father's death my sister and I hired David Terry to represent us for a wrongful death case. David did a great job representing my family and gave us the upmost respect. David is very knowledgeable and fought hard for us, treating my family as though it was his. I feel fortunate to have found David and for him to have accepted our case. I highly recommend him to anyone who may need his services.
