A woman in her late 30s died following a C-section delivery when the OB/GYN failed to detect problems and treat or transfer her to a tertiary care hospital in a timely manner. The defendant denied negligence and claimed that the woman had died from disseminated intravascular coagulation, unrelated to any conduct by the defendant. The Carteret County jury returned a verdict in favor of the woman’s two surviving children for $1.25 million.
