The parents of a premature baby say a hospital worker caused a spinal cord injury that proved fatal to the newborn.

Gianna Lopera and Jahmiah Peets filed their complaint October 17 in Orange County Circuit Court against Orlando Health Inc. doing business as Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.

According to the complaint, Jahxy Peets was born via a STAT C-section on June 12, 2022, at 24 weeks. She was intubated and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit upon birth. There was no evidence of any birth-related trauma.
