$1 Million Wrongful Death Medical Malpractice Settlement for Misdiagnosing Brain Aneurysm

By Bailey & Greer, PLLC | January 22, 2015

Our client’s wife visited the emergency room as a result of having a severe headache. She also experienced facial drooping and slurred speech prior to being seen in the emergency room. Despite having the classic signs and symptoms of a brain aneurysm, no CT scan was performed and the patient was discharged and told she was having a migraine headache. When the headache persisted, she presented to a different ER and was ultimately diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. Despite the efforts of highly trained neurosurgeons, she died a short time thereafter. Had the right tests been performed at the first ER, she would not have died. The defendant responsible for the negligent care agreed to pay $1 million to avoid a trial.
