Multimillion-dollar recovery
A newborn from Oil City, Franklin County, suffered severe brain damage as a result of a doctor’s failure to diagnose an inborn error of metabolism known as galactosemia. A test had been performed in the hospital, which showed that the child had galactosemia, but the test results were overlooked. As a result, the child was given food that he could not tolerate, and it caused permanent brain damage. After extensive litigation, we obtained a multimillion-dollar recovery on behalf of this brain-damaged child, and the money was safeguarded for his future needs.
