She said her daughter found her unconscious more than 30 hours later.She remained stuck in the walk-in tub and the water for more than 30 hours, and her inability to drain the water resulted in significant injuries to her skin, the suit states.That was the lousiest $12,000 I ever put out, Cullen said. I ended up in the hospital for four days, and then in a nursing home for three months. The lawsuit, which claims a failure and/or malfunction of the drain, is seeking in excess of $50,000 plus the costs of suit.
