Confidential Settlement – Brain Injury

Brady Williams secured a settlement on behalf of a man who suffered a permanent brain injury after the symptoms of a developing arterio-esophageal fistula went unrecognized and untreated following a cardiac ablation procedure. An arterio-esophageal fistula is a known and serious complication of cardiac ablation that demands prompt recognition and intervention, yet the warning signs present in this case were missed until irreversible neurological damage had occurred. The failure to identify and act upon this developing complication in a timely manner transformed a known procedural risk into a catastrophic and preventable outcome.
