The family of Esmin Green, the woman who died after lying prone on the floor of a hospital waiting room for over an hour, settled their wrongful death case with the City of New York late last month for $2 million. On June 19 of last year, Green slumped to the floor of Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn after having been made to wait for 24 hours without seeing a doctor. Two security guards and a doctor had wandered in and out of the waiting room during the hour that Green lie dying, but no one checked to see if she was alright until it was too late.
Cases like this engender public outrage and highlight the importance of wrongful death cases. In a case like this, family members want to see that the people responsible for their loved one's death are brought to justice. Egregious conduct such as that displayed by the hospital's security and staff in Esmin Green's case should not go unpunished.
