A Middlesex County jury awarded $11.05 million on November 28 in Fava v. Moss, a medical malpractice suit brought by a man who had both legs amputated due to delayed treatment for his circulatory condition.
According to the suit, plaintiff Michael Fava was brought to the emergency room at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison on May 13, 2013, with severe leg pain and an inability to move his legs. His legs had no pulse and were swollen, dictating an immediate surgical procedure to relieve pressure, said plaintiff lawyer Carol Forte. The emergency room doctor called in surgeon Vincent Moss at 5 a.m., but Moss said he would see the patient later in the day, she said.
