An Alberta family has been awarded $16.5 million in damages in a lawsuit over the medical care and treatment of their toddler who ended up becoming a quadruple amputee, with the child’s parents alleging the professionals failed to address a bacterial infection in time.
The girl is now 15 and was identified in court documents as KB. She was first admitted into Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Grande Prairie hospital on Feb. 19, 2011, when she was 11 months old.
