SANTA ANA, Calif. - A California family has been awarded $1.5 million after they were wrongly told their family member had died.“Well, ... it was unbelievable ... I mean, we had buried him a couple of weeks prior,” Carole Meikle said.
“Today we achieved a verdict, and the jury awarded compensation in the amount of $1.5 million for the emotional stress and mental anguish they suffered,” the family’s attorney, James Desimone, said. According to the family’s attorney, the family was told their loved one was identified through fingerprints, which was not true.
