Significant six-figure settlement

A sheet metal worker from Beaver County suffered significantly reduced function in his right hand because of a one-month delay in diagnosing a fractured wrist. He had been seen at the emergency room one month earlier where X-rays were taken of the wrist and he was mistakenly told that there was no fracture. We filed a medical malpractice claim against the medical center on the grounds that they “missed” the fracture in the emergency room, and we obtained a significant six-figure settlement on his behalf.
