New Delhi, March 23 -- A US jury has ordered a logistics company to pay $22 million (nearly Rs.207 crore) in damages in a case involving the death of a newborn baby. The case was reported by Local 12 WKRC-TV.

The case dates back to February 2021, when a pregnant Total Quality Logistics (TQL) employee was declared high-risk by her doctors. They ordered her to rest at home and work remotely. However, TQL initially refused her request to work from home.

The approval eventually came through after a third party had stepped in. But, by the time she got the approval, it was too late.

The employee suffered complications, was hospitalised and gave birth to baby Magnolia at just 20 weeks and six days. The baby died a few hours after birth.
