A $12 million settlement was approved by the court on March 8 in a Monmouth County suit, Estate of Gago v. Monmouth Medical Center, after a 35-year-old man died in the emergency department of Monmouth Medical Center after experiencing a severe allergic reaction.

David Gago arrived at Monmouth Medical Center after 3 p.m. on Jan. 1, 2017, complaining that he was having an allergic reaction to his wife’s perfume, and stating that he had developed hives earlier in the day and that he felt like his throat was closing. Gago was noted to be 343 pounds and had never suffered an allergic reaction before, according to Daryl L. Zaslow of Eichen Crutchlow Zaslow located in Edison, representing the plaintiffs.
