Six-figure settlement

A young father from Allegheny County went into a Pittsburgh hospital with a serious leg fracture. The doctors in the emergency room did not realize that the fracture site was open and likely contaminated, therefore they did not give the proper antibiotics. Rodney eventually had an amputation at the ankle after previously undergoing several surgeries trying to salvage the foot. A substantial, six-figure settlement was obtained for him as a result of a lawsuit filed against the hospital.
