Significant seven-figure award

A nine-year-old boy from Uniontown, Fayette County, underwent a simple surgery to remove his tonsils, but the doctor did not perform the surgery properly and caused damage to certain blood vessels. Two days later, while at the child was at home, those blood vessels burst, and the child nearly bled to death on the kitchen floor of his home. Although the paramedics were able to save his life, he lost so much blood that he suffered permanent brain damage and is now a quadriplegic, unable to speak, and must be fed through a tube. A significant, seven-figure award — representing the maximum available insurance — was obtained for this child and placed in trust to take care of his future needs.
