As an example, on February 17, 2014, buffalonews.com reported that a jury awarded a 45-year-old man $9.1 million after a broken ankle led to 12 surgeries and a leg amputation. That amount breaks down to $2.8 million in economic damages for hospital bills and lost income since his disability forced him to stop working, and a total of $6 million in non-economic damages for past and future pain and suffering. His now-ex-wife was awarded $350,000.
According to the paper, Donald Schultz fell on steps and fractured his ankle, which affected the nerves in his pinky toe. A year later, Schultz began seeing a different doctor, who performed several operations before severing the toe. That amputation caused an infection, which led to the amputation of Schultz’s fourth toe. In July 2009, the doctor amputated Schultz’s leg below the knee, and that led to yet another infection, which led to the amputation of what remained of his leg.
