Multimillion-dollar recovery

A 65-year-old Pittsburgh-area man was in a Pittsburgh hospital after suffering a cervical (neck) fracture in an automobile accident. When he entered the hospital, he had full function of his arms and legs. However, the fracture was not properly stabilized, and the man was permitted to get out of bed with the broken neck. As a result, some of the fractured bone “moved” and hit the spinal cord. The gentleman became a paraplegic. We obtained a multimillion-dollar recovery on behalf of this man.
