Failure to diagnose
Our client appeared in a local hospital’s emergency room on three separate occasions complaining of dizziness, slurred speech and weakness. The emergency room staff attributed the symptoms to various illnesses, including a cold. We claimed these symptoms resulted from decreased blood supply to the brain caused by a stroke in evolution that ultimately caused our client left-sided neurological damage. During the trial of the case before a jury in Kings County, the appropriate settlement was achieved.
