Attorney Peter Hickey and team obtained a $295,000 settlement on behalf of a client who experienced significant delays in care after presenting to the emergency department with left arm numbness and weakness. Despite these warning signs, the client waited approximately four hours before being evaluated. Although stroke protocol was eventually initiated, the delay made it too late to administer tPA. Imaging later confirmed an acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA), and ischemic stroke.
