A Hamilton County jury ordered Cincinnati-based Total Quality Logistics to pay $22.5 million (£16.9 million) after finding the freight brokerage largely responsible for the death of a former employee's newborn daughter, according to a press release from the family's attorneys issued on 18 March.
Jurors found that TQL's refusal to let Chelsea Walsh work from home during a high-risk pregnancy led to the premature birth and death of her daughter, Magnolia Walsh. The jury awarded $25 million (£18.8 million) in total damages and assigned 90 per cent of the fault to TQL, producing the $22.5 million verdict against the company.
