The hospital center that dispatched paramedics and treated Eric Garner as he died after being placed in a chokehold by a New York City police officer has agreed to pay $1 million to Mr. Garner’s family, according to court records obtained on Tuesday by The Associated Press.

The settlement with Richmond University Medical Center is confidential and was not part of the $5.9 million agreement announced by the city in July. But the figure was disclosed in court documents filed in Surrogate’s Court on Staten Island.

The figure is the maximum claim allowed under the hospital center’s liability insurance policy, according to court papers.

The hospital center had no comment on the settlement, according to William Smith, a spokesman. Mr. Garner’s lawyers did not respond to a message seeking comment.
