In Transportation Worker v. Stroke Center, Khaldoun Baghdadi, Martin Neira, and Joseph Nicholson secured a $3,200,000 settlement for a patient who suffered catastrophic injury following a delayed stroke diagnosis. The patient presented with facial droop and slurred speech. Despite abnormal imaging and a telestroke consultation, no vascular studies were ordered, and he was discharged without intervention. Hours later, he sustained a massive MCA infarct, leaving him with deficits in his left arm and leg. Causation was vigorously disputed, but our team used expert testimony to show how timely CTA and thrombectomy would likely have preserved meaningful function.
