VALENTINE v. PLUM HEALTHCARE GROUP, LLC (2019) 37 Cal.App.5th 1076 [July 2, 2019]
Short Summary: Nursing homes continue to be a fertile source of cases concerning the enforcement of arbitration clauses. To perfect enforcement against relatives, nursing homes must ensure either of the following occur: (1) the patient signs an arbitration agreement binding relatives who present certain claims arising from the patient's treatment; or (2) a person who is authorized to act as the patient's agent with express authority to do so binds the patient and her relatives to an arbitration agreement.
Here, husband Roy signed the paperwork to admit wife Lila to a nursing home, including arbitration agreements. He did not hold a power of attorney empowering himself to do so. As a result of alleged neglect, Lila died.
The trial court held that although Roy was not an agent, his actions could personally bind himself to arbitrate his claims as an individual and as a successor to Lila's claims. But their children, who were not parties to the arbitration agreement, were not bound to arbitrate their individual claims for wrongful death or for negligent infliction of emotional distress. As Roy did not bind Lila to arbitration as her agent, he also did not bind the children's claims for wrongful death to arbitration.
The appellate court confirmed that, because the children's claims were to be litigated, and because the children were third parties whose claims against defendants arose from the same set of facts as Roy's, the trial court had discretion to deny defendant's petition to compel arbitration in order to prevent conflicting rulings on common issues of law or fact.
Life is always changing, but some events will reshape everything.
