Nash & Associates: Case Under Investigation
Brain Injury – arterial venous malformation
Case Facts: The patient, after suffering a severe headache, went to a local area hospital. He underwent a series of tests and observations, which ultimately led to a diagnosis of arterial venous malformation. After discussion with his treating physician, he was allowed to leave the hospital to obtain a second opinion regarding future treatment plans.
A few days after returning to his home, he suffered a massive bleed in his brain. He was rushed to a local area hospital, where it appears his diagnosis and timely intervention were delayed. He went into a coma, from which he eventually awoke, only to find that he had suffered extensive, life-threatening, and horrifically disabling injuries. He currently suffers from significant neurological injuries to his brain, which has left him with very significant cognitive, motor and speech deficits.

Again, the above ‘cases under investigation’ are just that – under investigation. At Nash & Associates, we recognize that bad results can occur even when the medical care is totally proper. We believe it is our ethical duty to our clients to totally and properly investigate these matters to identify those cases in which tragic outcomes are the result of negligence. While we attempt to initially screen incoming matters to determine which may have merit, the final determination to proceed to a lawsuit is not made unless and until we are satisfied, through proper investigation and qualified expert consultation. that a valid malpractice case exists. Of course, the ultimate determination of the validity of a case lies with the jurors who must unanimously agree that our assessment was correct.
