Significant six-figure recovery

A disabled coal miner from Fayette County went to a Pittsburgh hospital to have rotator cuff surgery. During the surgery, problems developed with his breathing and he ended up dying. We filed a claim against the hospital and the anesthesiologist on the grounds that the man was known to have prior breathing problems, and that he never should have been taken to surgery unless additional precautions were taken. Without those protections, his breathing status was not strong enough to withstand surgery. The attorneys of Gismondi & Associates filed a wrongful death and medical malpractice claim, and we obtained a significant six-figure recovery on behalf of his wife.
