Laurie Harris says her daughter was misdiagnosed with epilepsy and suffered severe rashes and lifelong complications.
In the lawsuit, close to 250 families claim Dr. Yasser Awaad, a pediatric neurologist, misdiagnosed hundreds of children, saying they had epilepsy.
Harris' child underwent surgery for an implant that sends electrical shocks to her brain.
