$2.1 Million - Failure to Diagnose Stroke

• Settled 2.1 million before trial

The client was a successful Corporate Attorney and Partner at his firm when he presented to the defendant physicians with new-onset Left-sided leg and arm weakness. Our expert opined that the client showed clear signs of an evolving Watershed Stroke which likely occurred after the client had a change in dose of his Blood pressure meds. All of the client’s physicians missed numerous windows of opportunity to identify a carotid occlusion and alleviate the same and thus caused the client to suffer a major hemispheric stroke with permanent confinement to a wheelchair.
