Stroke
A stroke is a medical emergency. When a stroke occurs, the adage is that “time is brain,” meaning the quicker a patient gets to the emergency room, the better chance they have of receiving effective treatment with the benefit of a significant recovery. Unfortunately, on occasion, treatments are not provided on time or correctly. These types of failures on the part of emergency room staff can lead to lifelong disability and suffering. At Bounds Law Group, we have handled hundreds of cases regarding failure to diagnose and treat stroke. As medical technology and treatment options have evolved, so have our cases and strategies. Now, more than ever, stroke is a treatable condition with a great prognosis when recognized and treated properly.
