Family of N.S. woman who died after 7-hour ER wait suing health authority
The family of Allison Holthoff is demanding answers after the Nova Scotia woman died at the hospital in Amherst, N.S. following a seven-hour wait for treatment.In the release, lawyer Mike Dull said Holthoff’s loss was “unimaginable and seemingly would have been entirely avoidable had reasonable care been taken to what was an obviously life-threatening situation.
“We hope that this legal action does two things: first, it provides this young family with acknowledgments of the failures and their resulting harms, and second, Allison’s death is not in vain,” Dull said. “We hope the legal action draws attention to seemingly systemic failures and encourages decision-makers to take steps to ensure that a similar tragedy does not occur again in our province.”Global News has contacted the health authority for comment.
