Seattle Children’s Hospital Ordered to Pay $215,000 in Mold Exposure Lawsuit

Seattle Children’s Hospital has been ordered to pay approximately $215,000 to individuals who were exposed to aspergillus mold within the hospital premises. The verdict was reached following a class action lawsuit filed in 2019 by families whose loved ones had been affected by the fungus, including two infants and an 11-year-old child in an operating room during heart surgery. The King County jury ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, directing Seattle Children’s to compensate two families with $100,000 each, along with an additional $15,000 to an unnamed victim.
