Mom Whose Newborn Died in Her Arms After Denied Work-From-Home Request Awarded $22.5M
"TQL presented Walsh with an impossible choice - work at the office and put additional strain on her child, or take an unpaid leave of absence and lose the income and health insurance she needed."
"Magnolia had a heartbeat, was breathing, and exhibited fetal movement. Magnolia was placed on Walsh's chest so that Walsh could hold her. Magnolia died in Walsh's arms approximately one hour and thirty minutes later."
"This is a heartbreaking outcome for a young family. The evidence showed that Chelsea Walsh was following her doctors' instructions for a high-risk pregnancy and simply asked to work from home."
A jury in Hamilton County, Ohio, ordered TQL to pay $22.5 million after Chelsea Walsh lost her baby during a high-risk pregnancy. Walsh's doctors advised her to limit activity and work from home, but her request was denied. She faced an impossible choice between working in the office or taking unpaid leave. After being placed on leave against her wishes, Walsh was hospitalized and gave birth to her daughter, Magnolia, who died shortly after birth despite showing signs of life.
