Negligent Death

Washington, DC: (Jan-13-08) The children of New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum brought a lawsuit against Howard University Hospital, alleging that their father died due to negligence. The lawsuit claimed that the hospital and DC emergency workers were negligent in handling Rosembaum, and that his death was the result of medical malpractice. Rosenbaum, 63, was killed in a street robbery near his Northwest Washington home in January 2006. The lawsuit was filed the following November by Rosenbaum's son and daughter after a report by the DC inspector general's office cited an unacceptable chain of failure by firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and hospital personnel in treating Rosenbaum. The family said that the failures contributed to his death. The suit, filed by Dorothy and Daniel Rosenbaum, ended after they reached a confidential settlement with Howard University Hospital.
