Six-figure recovery

A retired gentleman from Altoona underwent a stereotactic biopsy to sample a tumor in his brain. Because the neurosurgeon incorrectly plotted the location of the tumor, he “missed his mark” when he inserted the needle to do the biopsy and struck a blood vessel. The patient suffered serious intracranial bleeding and eventually died several days later. We filed a wrongful death claim and medical malpractice claim, and a six-figure recovery was obtained for the children of this unfortunate patient.
