(AP) The fam-: ily of a Broomall lawyer who died after routine dental work in 1988 has won more than $3 million in a civil lawsuit against the dentist. A Delaware County court last; month ruled on the liability issue and Wednesday set the damages at $3,169,661. The suit was filed against Dr.

Henry J. Cluver of Broomall, behalf of Paula Bonavitacola and her two sons. The suit claimed that Dominic Bonavitacola died Feb. 13, 1988, because Cluver negligently failed to administer properly antibiotics to prevent a heart infection in the patient, who had a history of rheumatic fever and heart murmur. The suit charged that Bonavitacola's death was due to complications resulting from the dental treatment he underwent in October 1987.

Dr. Cluver denied any wrongdoing and is appealing the jury's verdict. Bonavitacola was chairman of the Democratic Party in Marple, a suburb of Philadelphia. Sheppton Oneida Brandonville Correspondent: Mrs. Donald Shenyo, W.
