Permanent Brain Injury to 43-Year-Old Woman – $10,000,000 Jury Verdict
We represented a 43-year-old woman and her husband in a medical malpractice lawsuit against a local emergency room physician who failed to properly diagnose and treat the woman’s intracerebral hemorrhage. The physician’s actions resulted in a permanent brain damage.
What Happened?
Our client went to the emergency room complaining of the sudden onset of a severe headache accompanied with nausea and vomiting.
Although the symptoms are the classic sign of an intracerebral hemorrhage and could be safely diagnosed by a CT scan, the careless physician ordered a lumbar puncture which led to permanent brain damage.
Our expert testified that the lumbar puncture created a risk of brain damage while the CT scan was non-invasive and was the diagnostic test of choice. Furthermore, if the lumbar puncture had not been performed our client would have recovered from her intracerebral bleeding without further injury.
