Adult brain injury claim | Won £450,000
Our client suffered brain swelling for medication did not improve his condition
Our client was suffering from symptoms of vomiting, insomnia, drinking copious amounts of fluid and crying in pain. After some initial investigations, diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed. Medication by way of a drip was introduced, but our client’s condition did not improve and he became comatose, stopped breathing and required cardiac resuscitation. As a result of the mismanagement of the diabetic ketoacidosis he had suffered cerebral oedema – brain swelling.
Prior to the negligence, the Claimant had some learning difficulties. Following the negligent treatment, he suffered increased learning difficulties, mood change with outbursts of anger, was hyperactive and craved attention. He had difficulties in unfamiliar surroundings. Damages were agreed in the sum of £450,000.
