A $4.2 million settlement was reached on July 3 in Niedzwiadek v. Anmuth, the Atlantic County case of a Southampton woman who died following routine neck surgery after the physician who was supposed to be monitoring her signals remotely allegedly was out driving and making phone calls.
According to court documents and an attorney in the case, on Oct. 22, 2013, Margaret Mary Niedzwiadek, a 59-year old mother and grandmother, had a spinal disc and fusion procedure performed at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City.
