When she arrived at the hospital and learned that Annie had died, Ms. Connolly
collapsed and screamed non-stop for hours. Hospital staff placed Ms. Connolly in a separate room
for observation, and the doctor who declared Annie dead had to speak to other family members
about what had occurred because Ms. Connolly could not bear to speak to him or to see Annie’s
body.
88. Mr. Surman was alone in the back of a taxi to the airport when he received the call
that Annie had died. He could hear his wife’s screams in the background while he was helpless to
comfort her. He sobbed through his redeye flight to join Ms. Connolly.

Reading the complaint, I don't see any way in which the company is not responsible for this. The about turn in requiring her to come back in couple of weeks or else be terminated is just cruel. Now, I know what companies can be like, and especially if they're doing layoffs, things can get quite bonkers. But ultimately, the responsibility rests with the company: like it or not, an employer in America is responsible for their healthcare, which means you need to be careful when dealing with what happens when you suddenly end it.
Corporations are drivin solely by increasing profits for shareholders. Anything else is just for show or compliance with law, and even that is rare because the fine is almost always miniscule in the grand scheme of things.
