US Pays $750,000 for Woman's Death at Naval Hospital

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Federal Government accepted a $750,000 settlement in the medical malpractice case of a woman who died after receiving eight surgeries at the Jacksonville Naval Hospital in just over a month in 2005. In the wrongful death suit, the woman's family accused the Navy of doctor error and failure to transfer her to another facility. The woman arrived at the hospital complaining of stomach pain, then died of a blood infection.

This is only the latest case to be settled at the facility with one of the highest per capita malpractice rates of any hospital in the country. This case follows over $70 million in payouts from the hospital in 2005 for a half-dozen cases, including several wrongful deaths, and precedes five more pending malpractice cases against the military hospital.

If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of the substandard care at this or any other US government institution, contact Fuller & Fuller, a family of lawyers with years of experience.
