A former Houston-area dentist has learned her fate after being found guilty of injury to a child by omission.
had treated the young girl in the past, but her mother, Courissa Clark, told FOX 26 in 2016 that about an hour into the procedure, her daughter cried out as she was experiencing a seizure. Courissa was told not to worry and to go back into the waiting room after Dr. Jefferson assured her everything was fine. Hours had passed before the ambulance finally arrived, but it was too late, as Nevaeh suffered oxygen loss, leaving the young girl severely brain-damaged.
The family believes Jefferson did not care then and still does not care now about what happened to Nevaeh. Neveah, now 10, remains conscious, but her family testified in court that "she can no longer see, speak, walk or eat on her own" and requires 24-hour medical care. The family's attorneys announced in a press release Thursday that a state district court jury assessed damages of $95.5 million to the family. However, attorneys said the family won't see a dime of the money. A year later, Jefferson was indicted by agrand jury for intentionally and knowingly by omission causing serious bodily injury to a child by failing to seek and provide adequate medical services.
