We investigated a claim on behalf of a female 31-year-old client. She suffered from severe headaches and nausea and subsequently underwent brain scans six years ago. She was told that the scans were normal and was not given any follow up at the hospital.
Our Client’s headaches continued but she tried to get on with her life as normal. Tragically, three years after the scan and just 2 days after giving birth to her baby, she collapsed. She had suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage as a result of a ruptured aneurysm in her brain.
The illness caused our Client to be paralysed down her left side and she is permanently disabled. Our experts believed at least one aneurysm was visible on the previous scans. Had this been correctly diagnosed, the aneurysm would have been coiled. Our client would therefore have avoided the ruptured aneurysm and subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Liability was resolved in our client’s favour and she achieved £2 million in compensation.
