Seven-figure recovery

A young man in his early 20s from Allegheny County was recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor. During follow-up visits with his doctors, he mentioned that he was starting to experience changes in his vision, but those complaints were ignored over a period of several weeks until tragically, he was permanently blind. It turned out that his blindness was caused by pressure on the optic nerve that should have been discovered and treated when he first started to complain about vision changes. We filed a medical malpractice claim, and attorney Gismondi obtained a seven-figure recovery to compensate him for suffering permanent blindness as a young, single man.
