Large six-figure award

A retired man from Murrysville who enjoyed tinkering around the house, underwent a surgery at a Pittsburgh Hospital to stop persistent nose bleeds. The surgery involved injection of material into the arteries of his nose. The doctor improperly performed the procedure and caused some of the material to injure the man’s optic nerve, which resulted in blindness in one eye. We filed a medical malpractice claim and obtained a large six-figure award to compensate this retiree for changes in his daily activity as a result of losing sight in one eye.
