Courissa was told not to worry and to go back into the waiting room after Dr. Jefferson assured her everything was fine.
"It changed her life, and it changed ours," says Clara Clark, Grandmother to Nevaeh Hall told FOX 26 last year. "Can you imagine if that was your child, we had a normal healthy child." "Things happen every day in the medical field, that’s understandable. But you do the right thing, and you call 911," says Clara. "But that’s not what she did, and she was so cold about the whole situation."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.
