This bill provides for the compensation of Eric Miles, Jr. and Jennifer Miles, the copersonal representatives of their deceased son, E.E.M., for injuries and damages sustained due to the negligence of the South Broward Hospital District, operating as Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. The bill acknowledges the tragic circumstances surrounding E.E.M.'s medical treatment, which included a failure to properly evaluate and diagnose a small bowel obstruction that ultimately led to severe health complications and his untimely death at the age of seven. The Miles family had previously settled with the hospital district for $500,000, of which $300,000 was paid, and this bill authorizes an additional appropriation of $200,000 to be paid to the Miles family.

The bill includes several key provisions: it declares the facts stated in the preamble to be true, authorizes the South Broward Hospital District to appropriate the additional funds, and stipulates that the total compensation provided is intended to cover all present and future claims related to the incident. Furthermore, it limits the total amount paid for attorney fees to no more than 25 percent of the total amount awarded under this act. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
