STUART Seven years after Martin Memorial Hospital returned illegal immigrant Luis Jimenez to his native Guatemala, his attorneys announced they will not pursue further legal action in his case, ending a protracted legal battle launched on his behalf in 2003.
According to a statement issued Wednesday by Martin Memorial officials, the move comes after a judge denied motions filed by lawyers representing Jimenezs court-appointed guardian challenging a 2009 jury verdict that ruled in favor of the hospital.
Martin Memorial officials said once all legal proceedings are terminated, theyll contribute $40,000 to help pay for Jimenezs long-term medical needs that otherwise would have been used for legal expenses.
