Large seven-figure recovery

A young woman from Johnstown suffered cauda equina syndrome, a compression on her spinal cord caused by a ruptured disk, which left her with impaired bowel and bladder function and a dropped foot. This condition occurred while the patient was in the hospital with back pain, and we filed a medical malpractice claim against the hospital and the doctors claiming that they did not move quickly enough to take her to surgery to relieve the pressure on her spinal cord. A large seven-figure recovery was obtained in her favor.
