US family awarded $38.7m in allergic reaction case
A US jury has awarded US$29.5 million ($38.7m) to the family of a woman who was left brain damaged after being treated for a severe allergic reaction by an ambulance service in Las Vegas in 2013.
Then-27-year-old Chantel Giacalone, an actor and model, went into anaphylactic shock after biting into a pretzel infused with peanut butter while in Las Vegas for a convention, the
Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Ms Giacalone s lawyer Christian Morris said she lost oxygen to her brain for a period of minutes after seeking treatment from MedicWest Ambulance, which was running the medic station that day.
