Large seven-figure award

A newborn baby was undergoing an angiogram at a Pittsburgh hospital when a part of the tube used for the test broke off and became lodged in a blood vessel near the baby’s knee. This foreign object cut off blood supply to the rest of the leg, and the leg suffered gangrene and had to be amputated. By using a team of scientific and medical experts, we successfully sued the manufacturer of the tube on the ground that it was too brittle, and we also successfully proved that the doctor was using too much force in trying to push the tube in when he should have known there was problem, and thus, causing it to break. We obtained a large seven-figure award on behalf of the child and her parents.
