Latest Feld lawsuit alleges fraud and negligence by nurse

March 27, 2010

For the past week, former District gossip columnist and socialite Karen Feld has sat next to her attorney in D.C. Superior Court with her ever-present red toy poodle Campari in a large black leather carrying bag at her feet, popping his head up each time she grabbed the bag.

 

Feld, of Northwest Washington, is in court fighting her one-time private nurse and home-care companion Inger Sheinbaum, whom she is suing for about $1.5 million, alleging fraud and negligence. Feld claims Sheinbaum lied about her qualifications as a registered nurse in the District. Sheinbaum, 61, of Vienna, denies the allegations.

Glen Howeth, 62, of Winslow, Ariz., died after being on a houseboat on Lake Powell in June 2008. His family maintains that too-high levels of carbon monoxide were produced by a generator on the boat that got trapped inside and that carbon monoxide detectors did not sound or alert those aboard.

Typically, grounding wires — also known as static lines — are within several feet of the power lines, said Fresno attorney Stephen R. Cornwell. In this case, however, the wire was more than 100 feet above the power lines, he said.
