Case Details
A Sussex County Superior Court jury awarded $6.5 million to Analy Ventura for the death of her 14-month-old daughter, Angi Ventura-Landeverde, due to medical malpractice by an emergency-room doctor and nurse practitioner who erred in releasing the toddler from the hospital. The child died four days later.
Additional Notes
The jury’s award - $700,000 for the child’s pain and suffering, and $5.9 million for Ventura’s mental anguish - was capped at $750,000 by an agreement between her lawyer, Eric Doroshow, and the defendants’ insurer. The so-called “high-low” agreement with the defendants’ insurer guaranteed a minimum payment of $75,000 to the mother, even if the jury rejected her claim, and prohibited either side from appealing the verdict.
