Couple Awarded $7.5 Million in Medical Malpractice Case

A couple in the Jefferson County, Alabama area has reportedly been awarded $7.5 million in a medical malpractice case. According to reports, the two were awarded the money in connection with a case where the man was having severe back and leg pain after having lower back surgery. It was then determined that he had a small blood clot near a bundle of nerves in his back. However, no nurse ever called his doctor about the problems and by the next day, too much time had passed to successfully treat them. He is now permanently incontinent and impotent.
