Large award in excess of a million dollars

A husband from Allegheny County and a teacher at a community college died from a pulmonary embolus that was not discovered while he was a patient at a Pittsburgh hospital following abdominal surgery. We filed a legal claim against the doctors and nurses claiming that there were clear warning signs that this patient was developing blood clots in his legs and that if earlier tests such as an ultrasound had been done, the clots would have been discovered before they broke off and went to his lungs and caused the man’s sudden death. We received a large award in excess of a million dollars on behalf of his widow and daughter.
