Seven-Figure Settlement for Family of Mother Who Died During Childbirth

In 2015, a 23-year-old mother began experiencing severe complications while giving birth in Charlotte County, Florida. The hospital’s staff did not give her the attention she needed, and failed to realize that her complications required an emergency transfer to a Sarasota County Hospital, which had the needed staff and equipment to treat her. The mother and her unborn child eventually died in the hospital. Her parents received a seven-figure settlement for these damages, despite a threat of arbitration that would have significantly limited these damages.
