getting $70k doesn't necessarily mean unfair.. $70k could very well be better than a $0 minus lawyers/court cost in lost battle. lawsuits can be pretty unique under circumtances cos i know some friends and family who won few millions in compensation too. $70k makes me think losing the unborn baby during delivery may not have been totally ALL due to "negligence".. your friend-of-a-friend is not telling the whole story
