After a trial, a jury found the dentist was negligent in her treatment of the then-4-year-old who suffered drug-induced seizures and oxygen deprivation.
Nevaeh Hall was 4 years old when a routine trip to the dentist changed her life. Years later, a court is holding the dentist accountable, but tonight on ABC13 at 10 p.m., the family tells us there are still struggles, especially with the unlikelihood of not seeing any of the money awarded to them.A Houston-area family was awarded $95.5 million after their then 4-year-old daughter suffered brain damage during a dentist visit in 2016.
Nevaeh's parents, Courissa Clark and Derrick Hall, also allege that Jefferson kept the young girl, who is now 10 years old, away from her mother after she began having seizures. "The evidence in trial was heartbreaking," Ryan Skiver, one of the family's attorneys, said. "A 30-pound girl, little more than a toddler, was physically and chemically suffocated by an out-of-control, financially-motivated dentist."
