(United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania) - The Mizner Law Firm represented an incarcerated man who underwent oral surgery to remove several teeth. The surgery was performed negligently, and medical molding material was forced up into his sinus. Although the prison medical staff was aware of this issue, it was characterized as “non-emergent” and he did not receive surgery to have the material removed until massive amounts of bloody pus began flowing from his nose, over two months later. Mr. Jeffries' claims for violations of the Eighth Amendment and professional negligence were settled.
