L.A. County Settles For $3 Million in Emergency Room Wrongful Death Suit

Los Angeles County agreed to a settlement in the wrongful death suit of a Los Angeles woman who died in the emergency room at Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital. The settlement is in the amount of $3 million.

The lawsuit alleged that hospital employees negligently discharged the woman, who was in the emergency room complaining of agonizing pain. Although the woman was discharged, she returned to the emergency room several hours later.

Surveillance camera footage showed hospital employees dismissing her condition, as the woman flailed around on the ground in pain. Moreover, the suit alleged that while this was transpiring others waiting in the emergency room frantically called 911 for assistance.

The woman ultimately died from a perforated bowel.

$13.7 Million Verdict in Fatal Test Drive

A jury returned a verdict for $13.7 million in a wrongful death suit stemming from a test drive gone horribly wrong.

On August 4, 2004 an Illinois man walked into a BMW dealership and asked to test drive a car. The salesman took the man out for a drive. The salesman was sitting in the passenger seat when the BMW clipped a car in front of it while making a left hand turn. The salesman was ejected from the car and was pronounced dead an hour and a half later.

Witnesses testified that the BMW was traveling around 95 miles per hour at the time of the crash.

Although the defense asserted that the salesman’s own negligence contributed to his death by telling the driver to go ahead and “open it up,” the jury found in favor of the plaintiffs.
