The parents of a 3-year-old girl who fell to death at an Anaheim hotel in 2015, reached a tentative settlement, ending the lawsuit blaming the hotel's owners and the property management company for the incident.
Attorneys representing the parents filed a settlement notice on December 21, 2018, regarding the wrongful death in Los Angeles Superior Court, which claimed that negligence at the Embassy Suites caused the death of their toddler.
The family stayed at the hotel during their visit to Disneyland, and while the mother was showering, the child rushed from the fifth-floor walkway in an indoor courtyard. In an attempt to reach to her family members sitting in the courtyard downstairs, the toddler climbed over the railing; as per her cousin, seeing her dangling at the railing, the mother screamed that is when the toddler let go off the railing and plunged into the courtyard. The attorneys stated the hotel owned by Urban Commons Frontera and UCF 1 and managed by Brighton Management was "dangerous, defective and unsafe." It is not clear if the settlement terms would become public after the agreement is brought before a judge.
A Santa Fe jury awarded $73.2 million to the plaintiff in a medical malpractice lawsuit involving a newborn. The incident took place in 2013 when the child suffered life-altering injuries due to the medical negligence of the authorities. The medical authorities performed risky delivery of the pregnant woman that resulted in severe laceration for her.
