Significant six-figure award

A 73-year-old woman from Jefferson, PA, died as a result of bleeding that occurred when she suffered a tear in her subclavian vein as a surgeon attempted to place a catheter in that vein. We filed a medical malpractice claim against the surgeon for causing the tear, and also against the hospital nurses for not discovering the bleeding that occurred after the surgery and which led to the patient’s death. We obtained a significant six-figure award on behalf of her family.
