TORONTO - Eleven Canadian gymnasts who pushed for an investigation into abuse allegations by coaches Dave and Elizabeth Brubaker applauded the news Wednesday that the couple has withdrawn appeals of their coaching bans.
A Lancaster County Court jury on Wednesday awarded a Lancaster woman $6.4 million after concluding that she lost her ability to walk unassisted and pain-free because her local neurologist initially failed to spot her congenital brain defect.
Elizabeth Brubaker, 34, who had been working as a hairdresser and attending HACC to become a radiologic technologist, filed the suit in 2017 against Dr. Venkatachalam Mangeshkumar of Neurology & Stroke Associates, Lititz, which he founded.Â
The verdict is one of the largest medical malpractice awards ever here. The juryâs award consists of $6.0 million for pain and suffering and future medical expenses plus $413,000 for past medical expenses, said Brubakerâs attorney, April Strang-Kutay.Â
