Description
A King County jury awarded a combined total of around $215,000 in the first lawsuit against Seattle Children's hospital over Aspergillus mold exposure.
None of the plaintiffs were infected with the potentially deadly mold, but during two weeks of trial they testified that their children were subjected to stressful or painful anti-fungal treatments after medical staff notified them of the possible exposure during medical procedures.
