FINAL ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION AND JOINT PETITION FOR COMPENSATION OF CLAIM ARISING OUT OF FLORIDA BIRTH-RELATED NEUROLOGICAL INJURY PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 766, FLORIDA STATUTES


This cause came on to be heard pursuant to Sections 766.304 and 766.305(6), Florida Statutes,1 upon the stipulation and joint petition of the parties, filed March 12, 2004, for the entry of an order approving the resolution of a formal claim for compensation benefits heretofore filed in this cause in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 766, Florida Statutes, and a resolution of the exclusive remedy otherwise available as

By the terms of their stipulation, the parties have agreed that Petitioners, Aida Turkanovic and Hamdija Turkanovic, are the parents and natural guardians of Jenita Turkanovic (Jenita), a minor; that Jenita was born a live infant on October 12, 1999, at Memorial Hospital Jacksonville, a hospital located in Duval County, Florida; and that her birth weight exceeded 2,500 grams. The parties have further agreed that the physicians delivering obstetrical services during the birth of Jenita was Angela S.

Finally, by their stipulation, the parties have agreed that Jenita suffered a "birth-related neurological injury," as that term is defined by Section 766.302(2), Florida Statutes.
