    In May of 2008, Mr. Lagnese obtained verdict of $2,500,000 against UPMC for the family of a 24 year old man. The jury found that the young man’s death was caused by the failure of UPMC to have properly trained and supervised a newly hired nurse.

In 1987, he graduated from Duquesne University School of Law.   Mr. Lagnese is a member of the American Assocation of Justice, the a member of the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania Association of Justice and is currently the Immediate Past President of the Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association.
