$2.7 Million for Stroke Victim whose MRI was Misread
Corboy & Demetrio obtained a $2.7 million settlement on behalf of a 37-year-old woman whose MRI was misread by a doctor at Riverside Medical Center and ended up suffering a stroke. The medical malpractice lawsuit alleged that the defendant misread plaintiff's MRI of the brain and CT angiogram of the neck on March 14, 2009, which led her treating physicians to forego treatment for the bilateral vertebral artery dissections she had. As a consequence, she suffered a second stroke on March 15, 2009 which left her with a drop foot, paresis of her right arm and cognitive issues.
