Recovery well in excess of six figures

A 55-year-old woman from Johnstown, Cambria County, developed a large hemorrhage in her leg as a result of receiving too much of the blood-thinning drugs, heparin and Coumadin. The hemorrhage in her leg resulted in damage to the femoral nerve, which caused her left leg not to function normally. We filed a medical malpractice claim against her doctors on the ground that they were not monitoring her blood work close enough, and if they had done so, they would have reduced the dosage of the blood-thinning medication. We obtained a recovery well in excess of six figures on her behalf.
