Significant six-figure award

A young boy from Uniontown suffered serious orthopedic injuries when he was hit after getting off a school bus. We filed a personal injury claim against the private company that provided the transportation service to the school district and were able to establish that the driver did not follow proper procedures in discharging passengers. We obtained a significant six-figure recovery on the boy’s behalf.
 
A single male from Pittsburgh suffered a serious knee injury when he fell through a hatch, which was left open in the floor of a pleasure fishing boat. The attorneys of Gismondi & Associates filed a personal injury claim against the operators of the boat on the ground that they should have been more careful in protecting unsophisticated customers who were coming on board their boat for pleasure fishing. The man’s knee required three surgeries. Our attorneys made a recovery well in excess of six figures on this gentleman’s behalf.
 
A young toddler from Somerset, Pennsylvania, fell from a horse and suffered a leg fracture. When she was taken to the hospital, the doctors failed to notice that she was developing severe swelling inside the leg near the fracture, a condition known as compartment syndrome. If the pressure from the swelling inside the leg is not relieved, the patient can suffer permanent muscle and nerve damage in the lower leg. Unfortunately, because the doctors did not pay attention to the swelling, that is exactly what happened to this young girl. We filed a medical malpractice action against the orthopedic surgeon and the hospital and were able to obtain a recovery well into six figures on behalf of this young child.
