This bill provides for the compensation of Eric Miles, Jr. and Jennifer Miles, as 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, leaving a remaining balance of $200,000 that this bill seeks to authorize.

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 $200,000 for the Miles family, and stipulates that this amount, along with the previously paid $300,000, constitutes the sole compensation for all claims related to the incident. Additionally, it limits attorney fees to a maximum of 25% of the total amount awarded under this act. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
