Case Details

Man suffered permanent paralysis due to delayed diagnosis and treatment of a clot at County/USC Hospital. After a motorcycle accident and aorta repair with a stent-graft, he collapsed with pain and lost feeling in his legs. Doctors at County/USC took two days to discover a clot in the stent, which had cut off circulation to his lower limbs, resulting in permanent paralysis.

Additional Notes

Settlement also waived $790,000 in treatment costs and $200,000 to MediCal. The incident led to improvements in communication and care at LA County hospitals. Man also sued Cedars-Sinai, but that lawsuit was dismissed.
