Six-figure recovery

A woman from Pittsburgh’s North Hills suffered an injury to her common bile duct during a laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. As a result, she had to stay in the hospital longer and had to undergo an additional surgery. She was then bothered by abdominal complaints for the next several months. We filed a medical malpractice claim against the surgeon for not properly protecting the common bile duct during the gallbladder surgery. A six-figure recovery in favor of the woman was obtained.
