Significant six-figure verdict

A legal secretary from Pittsburgh was undergoing a minor procedure on her nose at a local Pittsburgh hospital. Shortly after the procedure, she had a cardiac arrest. Fortunately, she did not suffer any permanent heart damage, but she was off work for a matter of months. Our attorneys filed a medical malpractice action against the anesthesia team on the ground that they removed her breathing tube too quickly and that led to the cardiac arrest. The Gismondi & Associates attorneys filed a medical malpractice claim, and the jury returned a significant six-figure verdict on this woman’s behalf.
