Case Details

Attorneys, Timothy Richardson and Daniel O’Brien, secured a $2,400,000 settlement against a suburban hospital for the death of a 52-year-old unmarried retired man. Plaintiff claimed the emergency room failed to properly work up his repeated headache complaints above and beyond a CT scan of the brain that was negative for bleeding. Unfortunately, the man was suffering from a rare undiagnosed bone marrow condition that caused brain bleeding. After he was discharged from the hospital, the brain bleeding progressed over the next three days, which caused his death. Plaintiff alleged that if the emergency room had ordered a routine blood test, the results would have shown abnormal platelet levels, which would have led to further hematological workup, including a bone marrow biopsy and an eventual diagnosis of his bone marrow disorder.
