Case Details

Failure to appropriately treat ischemic stroke. Our client woke with a sudden onset of symptoms consistent with stroke. He went immediately to the ER at his community hospital where a “telestroke” consultation was conducted by an off-site neurologist. We alleged that this physician failed to adequately conduct the exam, make the diagnosis and prescribe necessary medication. Our client was left permanently disabled as a result of this stroke which we alleged could have been prevented. We further alleged that the community hospital was negligent for their failure to have audiovisual capabilities for the telestroke consultation to be adequately done.

Additional Notes

We reached a settlement with the hospital on the eve of trial and thereafter with the telestroke physician while the jury deliberated following a three-week trial.
