The plaintiffs brought a motion for court approval of a proposed $47,500 settlement in a medical negligence claim arising from the death of their father and grandfather.
The court found the motion materials deficient, as they lacked information regarding the alleged negligence, liability issues, efforts to retain experts, and the nature of the relationship between the minor plaintiffs and the deceased.
The court directed plaintiffs' counsel to file a further affidavit addressing these issues before the settlement could be evaluated for reasonableness.
