Large six-figure award for improper lumbar disk removal

A 49-year-old man from Penn Hills went into Presbyterian University Hospital for lumbar disk surgery, and somehow the wrong disk was removed. He had to undergo two additional surgeries and as a result of those extra operations, he suffered nerve damage which left his with chronic pain in his back and abdomen as well as his right leg. A large six-figure award was obtained against the hospital and the responsible doctors as a result of the medical malpractice claim that we filed.
