* Annalee Goodwin was admitted to WVU Hospitals in September 2007 after an automobile accident. Goodwin was a prolonged user of Coumadin and, as such, was at risk due to a life-threatening neck hematoma as a result of the accident. Goodwin also complained of abdominal pain consistent with internal bleeding of the abdomen. Her estate claims the defendants failed to take reasonable measures to keep Goodwin from bleeding to death. Glenn Goodwin and the estate is seeking compensatory damages, medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, pre- and post-judgement and punitive damages for negligence.
