Very significant six-figure recovery
A young adolescent from Beaver County had a condition known as precocious puberty, which causes the early onset of puberty changes such abnormal growth and the development of pubic hair. Ironically, the growth eventually becomes stunted, and the person ends up shorter than they otherwise would have been. Emotional problems are common with the early onset of puberty. When this young girl’s body started to change abnormally, her pediatrician should have discovered this condition with blood tests at a time that medication could have been given to stop the abnormally early onset of puberty. Unfortunately, that did not occur. We obtained a very significant six-figure recovery on behalf of this girl.
