The family of a woman who died after an emergency room doctor allegedly failed to treat her kidney failure agreed to a $1.375 million settlement in a Monmouth County medical malpractice suit, Grazette v. Corcoran, on March 3.

Temora Cortes-Grazette, then 44, went to the emergency room at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune on Jan. 18, 2017, after she fainted and injured her left ankle.
